The AGMEMOD model has been used for more than 20 years to project future developments on the agricultural and food markets. It is also used to analyse the effects of policy changes. There is great interest in this tool, as the number of participants in the AGMEMOD Training 2023 shows. In total, 23 participants from 12 countries attended the event and received intensive training from the AGMEMOD teams of the Thünen Institute and Wageningen Economic Research (WEcR). Additional financial support was provided by the EU projects BrightSpace and Tools4CAP.
The programme offered something for everybody: the basics of using the AGMEMOD model were explained, as well as tips and tricks for advanced users, and the latest model developments were presented. The opportunities for informal discussions and networking were well received, leading to the conclusion: "It's better in person!"
