This proposal's central goal is to effectively guide the agroecological transition toward climate-resilient farming. We propose to achieve this by significantly enhancing the system-based framework through the integration of detailed genetic diversity and variability data for key crops and livestock.

Using the MODASYS platform (www.modasys.org) as a modular, interoperable foundation, we will develop advanced capabilities for holistic agroecosystem simulation. MODASYS will drive scenario analysis and decision support, with model outputs rigorously validated and refined through feedback from Living Labs and similar. This co-creation ensures model robustness and local relevance, providing actionable strategies to maximise farm system resilience and maximise contributions to climate change mitigation and adaptation.

University College Dublin (UCD) is one of Europe's leading research-intensive universities, ranked globally for its impact in Agriculture and Food Science, Environmental, and Computer Sciences. The University provides an ideal, interdisciplinary environment, hosting the MODASYS team within its robust digital and agricultural research infrastructure. UCD is committed to addressing global challenges like climate change through its research on Sustainable Agriculture, with real-world data and expertise essential for the co-creation and validation activities of the MODASYS platform. Furthermore, UCD's strong international network and focus on policy engagement will ensure that the outcomes derived from MODASYS are effectively translated into global and regional sustainable development strategies.
