[agmip at lists.agmip.org]

The DSSAT Foundation, in collaboration with the University of Florida 
and the International Fertilizer Development Center will host an 
International Training Program  entitled DSSAT 2018 - "Assessing Crop 
Production, Nutrient Management, Climatic Risk and Environmental 
Sustainability with Simulation Models" from May 14 through May 19, 2018 
at the University of Georgia Campus in Griffin, Georgia, USA. The 
overall goal of the workshop is to familiarize the workshop participants 
with the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT 
v4.7); the Cropping System Model (CSM) for the simulation of crop growth 
and yield, soil and plant water, nutrient, and carbon dynamics; and the 
application of models to real world problems, such as crop and resource 
management, climate change and climate variability, carbon 
sequestration, food security, biofuels, and environmental sustainability.
