🌍 Our new review shows how: (1) Climate shocks hit food, water + health systems (2) All forms of malnutrition are at risk (3) Near-term events + long-term warming both drive risks (4) Building resilience through food, social + nutrition systems is urgent. 🔗 shorturl.at/WmZki

In preparation for the Science-to-Policy workshop at the University of Ghana, the project's modeling experts are currently holding a pre-workshop meeting, led by Roberto Valdivia of @oregonstate.edu and @jamesthurlow.bsky.social of @ifpri.org, to co-design an integrated suite of modeling tools.

Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project @agmip.bsky.social · May 20

Workshop participants include experts from Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, and Zimbabwe. The Science-to-Policy workshop's outcomes are expected to have relevance for countries throughout Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.

Excited for publication of our new piece (led by @lilybellesweet.bsky.social) describing vast potential and substantial challenges at the intersection of process-based crop modeling & machine learning. @agmip.bsky.social AGML team has identified many opportunities to merge existing & new expertises

Lily-belle Sweet @lilybellesweet.bsky.social · Apr 28

Transdisciplinary coordination is essential for advancing agricultural modelling with machine learning. The opportunities are great, but to avoid pitfalls, we need to establish benchmarks, evaluation criteria and best practices. Our perspective: www.cell.com/one-earth/fu... @cp-oneearth.bsky.social
