FoodClim
Overview
FoodClim is a NetLogo model
for simulating and visualizing how food yield responds to different
climate conditions. It is designed to support empirically grounded
agent-based models on food systems and to improve the reproducibility of
simulations by enabling parallel
execution alongside other models.
The model runs in parallel with the
LogoClim model, which
provides climate data from WorldClim 2.1.
If you find this project useful, please consider giving it a star!

How to Use It
Refer to the LogoClim
installation guide for detailed steps on installing the required
dependencies.
Once LogoClim is installed, you can run the FoodClim model by
specifying the path to your LogoClim installation in the FoodClim
interface. This allows FoodClim to access climate data provided by
LogoClim during simulations.
Refer to the Info tab in the model for additional details.
Integrating with Other Models
FoodClim can be integrated with other models using the
LevelSpace (ls)
extension for NetLogo. LevelSpace enables parallel execution and
communication between multiple models. This approach supports more
comprehensive simulations and facilitates the study of complex
interactions between food systems and environmental processes.

Acknowledgments
We gratefully acknowledge Stephen E. Fick, Robert J. Hijmans, and the entire WorldClim team for their outstanding work in creating and maintaining the WorldClim datasets, which form the foundation of this project.
We thank the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia and the United Kingdom's Met Office for developing and providing access to the CRU-TS-4.09 dataset, a vital source of historical climate data.
We also acknowledge the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), its Working Group on Coupled Modelling, and the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) for coordinating and advancing global climate model development.
We are grateful to the climate modeling groups for producing and sharing their model outputs, the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) for archiving and providing access to the data, and the many funding agencies that support CMIP6 and ESGF.
