Description The worldwide agricultural sector faces the significant challenge of increasing production
to provide food security for a population projected to rise to nine billion by
mid-century, while protecting the environment and the sustainable functioning of
ecosystems. This challenge is compounded by the need to adapt to climate change
by taking advantage of potential benefits, and by minimizing the potentially negative
impacts, to agricultural production. The goals of Agricultural Model Intercomparison
and Improvement Project (AgMIP) are to improve substantially the characterization
of world food security under climate change and to enhance adaptation
capacity in both developing and developed countries (www.agmip.org).
To accomplish these goals, AgMIP organizes protocol-based intercomparisons
of crop and economic models and ensemble projections to produce enhanced climate
change assessments by the crop and economic modeling communities. These
assessments focus on research related to climate change agricultural impacts and
adaptation (Rosenzweig et al., 2012). This chapter describes the AgMIP regional
integrated assessment projects in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia...
