Early work on climate change and agriculture was often limited to site-based crop modeling without addressing farming systems at regional scales and socio-economic outcomes To fill these gaps, the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) was founded in 2010. AgMIP has built a network of 1,200+ transdisciplinary scientists and decision-makers and developed a portfolio of climate, biophysical, and socioeconomic models and assessments to understand and respond to current and future challenges in agriculture and food security.
There is a further gap with regard to the evidence base required by policy makers to adopt agricultural adaptation policies and undertake resilience programs for the agricultural sector. To fill this gap, AgMIP is developing tools and methods that help decision-makers, and policy-makers create multiple-scale interventions and policies to offset the negative impacts of climate change. The AgMIP tools and methods can aid in the more equitable implementation of agricultural development strategies to ensure that all farmers will benefit.
Finally, there is a large gap or "siloization" of responses between mitigation and adaptation actions by countries. As many countries are now seeking to implement strategies for both climate change mitigation and adaptation as part of their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), interventions in farming systems can address both reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improvement in resilience. AgMIP projects are addressing this siloization in Bangladesh, Viet Nam, and India by testing the co-benefits and trade-offs between mitigation and adaptation in regard to elements of the sustainable rice intensification management system, including alternate wetting and drying (AWD).
AgMIP has developed protocols for regional integrated assessments (RIAs) that bring together climate, biophysical, and economic modelers to work together on farming system scales. The purpose of this chapter is to synthesize and evaluate the results of RIAs that have been done at subnational scales in India and Pakistan, to present crop modeling results from Viet Nam, and illustrate a pilot study in Bangladesh on combined mitigation and adaptation.
