TL;DR: The Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) as mentioned in this paper is a major international effort linking the climate, crop, and economic modeling communities with cutting-edge information technology to produce improved crop and economic models and the next generation of climate impact projections for the agricultural sector.

TL;DR: Bio-economic farm models (BEFMs) as mentioned in this paper are developed to enable assessment of policy changes and technological innovations, for specific categories of farming systems and highlight key issues that require more attention in the use and methodology of BEFMs.

TL;DR: The history of agricultural systems modeling is summarized and lessons learned are identified that can help guide the design and development of next generation of agricultural system tools and methods.

TL;DR: An overview of the present state of crop modelling to assess climate change risks to food production and to which extent crop models comply with IAM demands is provided.

TL;DR: It is concluded that multiple platforms and multiple models are needed for model applications for different purposes, and the Use Cases provide a useful framework for considering capabilities and limitations of existing models and data.
