Crop Modelling for the Future

Four years after the first International Crop Modelling Symposium in Berlin (iCROPM2016), crop modelers from around the world will meet at the iCROPM2020 Symposium in Montpellier, France to exchange on advances in crop modelling and identify challenges and new opportunities for future research.

iCROPM2020 will focus on recent improvements and applications of crop simulation models to better support agricultural production and food security under global change. All types of crops and cropping systems (arable, grasslands, intercrops) and world regions will be considered, including high and low inputs systems, with relevance for large agricultural enterprises to smallholder farmers, under climate change.

In the margins of the conference, a seminar is being organized in Agropolis on the theme of "Phenotyping and modelling of anchoring and physiology at different scales". Speakers will discuss both structure-function modeling and phenotyping to study plant biomechanics and anchoring, as well as the hydraulics of trees and field crops.
