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 2024 - "Assessing Crop Production, Water and Nutrient Management, Climatic Risk and Environmental Sustainability with Simulation Models" from May 20 through May 25, 2024 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 v4.8.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, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental sustainability. For further information, please visit the DSSAT Foundation web portal at http://www.dssat.net or the workshop registration web site at https://griffin.uga.edu/continuing-ed/dssat/registration/. I have also attached our latest brochure. -- Gerrit Hoogenboom Professor & Preeminent Scholar Agricultural and Biological Engineering 289 Frazier Rogers Hall PO Box 110570 University of Florida Gainesville, Florida 32611-0570, USA +1 352-294-1036; Fax: +1 352-392-4092 [log in to unmask] www.GerritHoogenboom.com
