Brazil: How have "SARRA" crop models been taken on board?

"SARRA" is a water balance model developed by ºÚÁÏÍø911. Its use in Brazil has supported the establishment of an operational network aimed at generating soil and crop analysis data, and thus producing climate risk index maps (also known as "agricultural climate risk zoning") to support cropping calendar recommendations (sowing dates, cycle lengths). The model is a valuable tool for supporting the Brazilian guarantee programme intended to reduce the risks of agricultural losses and of producers being unable to repay loans. The present case study looked at how it has been taken on board and at its societal impact.
