247 – Scaling PBDM (Physiologically Based Demographic Modelling): Localising Climate and Pest Models in West Africa
Published 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
George and David discuss the next phase of work on Physiologically Based Demographic Modelling (PBDM), focusing on efforts to scale its application in agroecological systems in West Africa. They explore the challenges of building and deploying complex ecosystem models, the interdisciplinary collaboration required, and the long-term vision of integrating deterministic models with responsible AI to support decision-making, from policy to smallholder farmers.
