MACSUR is a knowledge hub within FACCE-JPI (Joint Programming Initiative for Agriculture, Climate Change, and Food Security). The FACCE-JPI Scientific Research Agenda defines
five core research themes to address the impacts of climate change on
European agriculture. MACSUR gathers the excellence of existing research
in livestock, crop, and trade science to describe how climate
variability and change will affect regional farming systems and food
production in Europe in the near and the far future and the associated
risks and opportunities for European food security. A knowledge hub is
an innovative, tailor-made instrument developed by FACCE-JPI,
associating 3 complementary dimensions: networking, resear
The knowledge hub consists of 71 organizations from 17 European countries plus Israel.
The overarching challenge is to develop a pan-European capability in
the development, use and interpretation of models to perform risk
assessments of the impacts of climate change on European
agriculture. The project focusses on the technical and informational
integration of suitable existing models and their application in
regional case studies that reflect the European diversity in soil,
climate, socio-economy and agricultural systems (MACSUR).
