Challenges – Livestock modeling –dynamics, effects of climate change, not calibrated for Africa Wagenigen (Katrien): – Farmsim (seaonal, not CC dynamics) – APSIM/AUSFAM/IAT Cornell University (Alex Ruane) – (Fertilty, milk production climate stress) APSFAM/APSIM (Patricia) – Data availability 3 sentinel sites, different data availability Long term data on livestock (FAOstat, global data sets) Geographical/Biomass primary production global data sets (need for ground truthing)
Training/capacity strengthening needs Livestock modeling (Patricia) DSSAT (strengthening) TOA-MD (Lieven, strengthening) Outputs – Review of livestock models, with regards to CC (liaise with ILRI) – Biophysical and socio-economic characteristics and bottlenecks – Management strategies and pathways for sustainable intensification Outcomes – Information and capacity strengthening – Policy dialogue
Interaction with stakeholders – Country specific Malawi: SLP solutions workshops, cross project coordination, student at UCT Zimbabwe: SLP solutions workshops, ACIAR project South Africa: CPWF projects Mozambique:? – Regional policy makers (FANRPAN) to define information needs – CRP 1.1 Engagement with AGMIP – Workshops – SSA trainings Question to AGMIP management – Engagement of students (tuition)?
