Better models help ensure food security in the face of climate change

Agricultural production and hence food security is increasingly under threat from climate change due to an increase in extreme weather events. Accurate estimations of agricultural production by combining crop-country-forecasting events based on models and agro-climatic indicators allow governments in Europe and around the world to take effective mitigating actions.

Model-based estimates of agricultural production are key elements for ensuring food security in a world confronted with climate change. Projected climate change calculations can reveal more than just mean temperature rise, by indicating the frequency and severity of floods, droughts, and severe heat and cold.
