The University of Florida and the Water Diplomacy Center at JUST are collaborating on a three-day workshop, "Climate Smart Food Systems Simulation Modeling," from May 19th to 21st, 2024. Open to researchers and professionals keen on modeling climate-smart food systems, it will focus on soil and water conservation in Jordan's dryland agriculture. The workshop offers a tiered approach covering conceptual modeling, model development, and applications, including water systems, crop modeling, and rangeland systems. It aims to build a modeling community linking Jordanian institutions with UF for potential collaborations and graduate studies.
