DESCRIPTION:Agriculture is one of the most vulnerable sectors to weather a
 nd climate impacts. The sector is increasingly making use of tailored weat
 her and climate data and information products\, which are called climate s
 ervices. Better use of agrometeorological information allows informed deci
 sion-making for proper planning and implementation of agricultural technol
 ogies and strategies to cope with climate variability and change. Climate 
 services development is inherently interdisciplinary\, as it requires mete
 orological and climatological expertise\, as well as agronomy\, animal sci
 ence\, information technology\, economics\, and social science. Different 
 temporal scales of climate information can be used for decisions by agricu
 ltural stakeholders. Weather forecasts and seasonal forecasts assist farme
 rs to improve on-farm practices\, while climate change projections facilit
 ate long-term policies and investment plans in the sector. FAO is promotin
 g seamless climate services across time and spatial scales for all actors 
 in the agri-food value chain. The seminar will discuss the potential of ag
 ricultural climate services while exploring opportunities for the academic
  community to engage in the endeavor.
