The final AGRIDEMA workshop was held in the Valladolid Fair Trade Center from 27 to 29 June 2007.

The workshop comprises four sessions. The first session was dedicated to policies and adaptation measures regarding Climate Change in Spain and in Europe. The second and third sessions were aimed to point out the State of the Art of the available climate and crop-growth simulation tools. Remarkable “developers” of such tools were present. The fourth session was aimed to show applications of the simulation tools in agricultural climate-change impact assessments. The results of the AGRIDEMA Pilot assessments were presented here, as well as other applications coming from more than 10 countries of Europe and the rest of the world.

Representatives of Farmers Associations, insurance companies and general stakeholders and policymakers were invited to the AGRIDEMA workshop.

The final program is shown below. The Workshop Oral presentations of both, “developers” and “users” can be downloaded below as well.

The AGRIDEMA workshop concluded with a Round Table, aimed to identify which issues are currently limiting the introduction of climate and crop-growth simulation tools under variable climate conditions. The “Users” made several comments about the usefulness and constraints of the current simulation tools. The “developers” can use this feedback information to further tools improvements. Some AGRIDEMA conclusions in this regard can be downloaded below.
