Concerns exist regarding potential trade-offs between climate change mitigation in
agriculture and food security. Against this background, the Global Biosphere
Management Model (GLOBIOM) is applied to a range of scenarios of mitigation
of emissions from agriculture to assess the implications of c...

Global integrated bio-economic modeling - a toolkit for the assessment of priorities for international agricultural research
The present study takes into account the role of potatoes in the global food system and seeks to contribute to the current discussion on agricultural research for food security. To this end, an updated and rebuilt version of the IMPACT-WATER model (Rosegrant et al., 2008) is applied to assess the...

Efforts are under way in the agricultural research for development community to employ crop growth simulation models for the ex"=ante assessment of the impacts of agricultural technologies, in particular improved crop varieties. The approach, dubbed ``virtual crop modelling'', consists in the man...

Virtual crop modeling for technology impact assessment - lessons from a potato crop growth model
This article examines how the estimated impacts of crop technologies vary with alternate methods and assumptions, and also discusses the implications of these differences for the design of studies to inform research prioritization. Drawing on international potato research, we show how foresight s...

To keep global warming possibly below 1.5 ᵒC and mitigate adverse effects of climate change, agriculture, like all other sectors, will have to contribute to efforts in achieving net negative emissions by the end of the century. Cost-efficient distribution of mitigation across regions and economic...
