In an era of progressive global warming, the world is witnessing a surge in the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, excessive rain and compounding events. Their consequences for agricultural production, farmer livelihoods and food security can be devasting. Understanding and quantifying the risk of crop failure is crucial for devising strategies to improve food security and livelihoods on the short term, as well as de-risking investment decisions of farmers, food system actors, and policymakers around the longer term transformation of agri-food systems towards sustainability. While the agricultural modeling community has made significant strides in appraising the impacts of mean climate changes, there has been much less success in developing methods to assess risks from extreme weather. Prominent agricultural projections have caught the attention of policymakers and adaptation planners using the best available tools, but improvement is needed to support agricultural and food system interventions. Here we outline critical research gaps to be addressed for the agricultural modelling community to support building the scientific knowledge base on which agricultural risks can be managed.
