Decision support system for risk reduction in agriculture Phase II: Soybean DSS for Eastern Paraguay and Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil IAI Small Grant Program for the Human Dimensions Panama, February 2008

Outline  Who we are  Goals & Objectives  Cooperators  Approach  Summary

Who are we? Julian Baez Universidad Nacional de Asuncion Mauricio Fernandes EMBRAPA-CNPT Norman Breuer University of Miami Clyde Fraisse University of Florida Victor Cabrera New Mexico State Willingthon Pavan Universidade de Passo Fundo

Goals & Objectives  Our main goal is to help producers mitigate climate risks affecting agriculture in Eastern Paraguay and Rio Grande do Sul To conduct stakeholder assessments to better understand needs and expectations; To evaluate the impact of ENSO phases on soybean yields using crop simulation models; To strengthen the capacity of professionals in Paraguay, Brazil, and the USA in agricultural systems modeling, use of participatory research methods for climate research, and interdisciplinary collaboration.  Integrate with CRN II: Land use change in the Rio de La Plata Basin: Linking biophysical and human factors to predict trends, assets impacts, and support viable land- use strategies for the future

Where will we focus our research? Soybean cover in South America Source: Rio Grande do Sul 9.92 mmt of soybeans during the 06/07 cropping season Eastern Paraguay 5.85 mmt of soybeans during the 06/07 cropping season

Our Strategy: Work with Cooperatives in Brazil and Paraguay Cooperativa de Agricultores de Plantio Direto 12,000 members Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Research Plan Crop Modeling Component  DSSAT CROPGRO-Soybean Model  Data collection effort Historical weather data Soils Management  ENSO climate scenarios  Alternative planting dates and maturity groups  Results will be disseminated to producers via a web-based DSS

Previous Research – IAI Seed Project Fraisse et al., 2007 – El Niño – Southern Oscillation Influences on Soybean Yields in Eastern Paraguay. International Journal of Climatology (in press). Soybean Yields in Paraguay 1981/82 – 2006/07

Translating Crop Model Outputs to Farmers

Training  Modeling workshop will be offered at the University of Passo Fundo in October 2008

In Summary  Well qualified multidisciplinary team  Very well connected with stakeholders  Technical background and experience in participatory research and crop modeling  Experienced in developing web-based DSS  Ready to work but still waiting for solving contract language issues between the IAI and University of Florida

Thank you!

Roadblocks  Funds not available yet  Legal language between IAI and UF not compatible  Dozens of s between sponsored programs, IAI, PI  The end appears in sight  Data collection in Paraguay will demand extra effort
