It supports agricultural decision making and management at various spatial and temporal scales. Yield assessment, production practices, resource use, environmental footprints, and policies are enhanced by models interacting with remote sensing and other digital data sources. Focus areas for model development and applications include the following.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Development and application of process-oriented dynamic models (cropping systems, hydrology, and environmental impact)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Development and application of data-driven empirical\/ machine-learning based models&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data assimilation and AI framework development to integrate models with digital data sources such as satellite imagery, observational networks and forecasts<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Model development and application for field-scale and regional-scale decision support.
