Modeling Applications for Decision Support in Agriculture

Guillermo Podestá, project coordinator, attended a workshop intended to introduce researchers, practitioners and stakeholders to the application of modeling and climate forecasting as a strategy to mitigate production risks associated with climate variability and change. The workshop took place at the University of Passo Fundo, Brazil, October 28-30, 2008.

The workshop was part of the activities of project “Decision Support System for Risk Reduction in Agriculture – Phase II: Soybean DSS for Eastern Paraguay and Rio Grande do Sul”, supported by the Small Grant Program of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI).
