to evaluate the impact of climate change on agriculture
Francois Delobel FAO HQ, Rome, 16 Dec 2014
Modelling System for Agricultural Impacts of Climate Change
• Collaborative tool for interdisciplinary climate change impact assessments in agriculture at national level
• Comprises models and utilities for climate data processing and hydrology, crop yields and economic modelling
• Facilitates data processing and sharing through a server-based architecture and web interfaces
• Developed with 6 scientific institutions • Pilot implementation currently undertaken in Morocco + the
Philippines and Peru

• Participatory approach• Remote access• Nothing to install (web browser)• Easy data exchange• Lowered computing time• No data format or unit conversion• Data tracking down the flow• Replicability/ study comparison• Modularity and substitution• Maintenance needed but no
licensing cost
MOSAICC advantages
MOSAICC
• Extension: Crop insurance– Evaluation of crop insurance premiums and their evolution
under various climate change scenarios
• Future deployments: projected in about 10 countries in Africa, Asia and South America
