Guiding principles and final aims

• Facilitate farmer-to-farmer exchange of knowledge

• Permit validation of computational models and trialing of new technologies and techniques

• Learning from history• Ground climate change impacts and

adaptation studies• Quantify the real effects of uncertainty

in the process of adaptation

5 • 3/21/11

The principle• Differences in agricultural systems are

related to climates –hence we can transfer technologies that work if climates are similar

6 • 3/21/11

Cassava yield

High yields

7 • 3/21/11

Temperature similarity

Could we achieve high yields here?
