Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we had to cancel all DSSAT workshops 
scheduled in 2020. We now anticipate that the situation will have 
improved in six months. Therefore, the DSSAT Foundation, in 
collaboration with the University of Florida and the International 
Fertilizer Development Center, is planning to host the international 
training program entitled DSSAT 2021 - "Assessing Crop Production, 
Nutrient Management, Climatic Risk and Environmental Sustainability with 
Simulation Models" from May 17 through May 22, 2021 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.x); 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.
