4. 4 • 3/21/11
Guiding principles and final
aims
• Facilitate farmer-to-farmer exchange of
knowledge
• Permit validation of computational
models and trialing of new technologies
and techniques
• Learning from history
• Ground climate change impacts and
adaptation studies
• Quantify the real effects of uncertainty
in the process of adaptation

5. 5 • 3/21/11
The principle
• Differences in agricultural systems are related
to climates –hence we can transfer
technologies that work if climates are similar

6. 6 • 3/21/11
High yields
Cassava yield

7. 7 • 3/21/11
Temperature similarity
Could we achieve
high yields here?
