| Abstract | Aqua Crop is a simulation model that forecasts the growth and yield of crop plants under different environmental and management conditions (Steduto et al., 2009). As a process-based model, it can be used to optimise farm management, forecast regional yields, or study climate change impacts and sustainable farming practices. Originally developed by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), it has been widely applied in agricultural research. Here, we present an expanded reimplementation of the model, translating it from Fortran to Julia (Bezanson et al., 2017) and focussing on improving its interoperability with other software and models. With AquaCrop.jl, we want to make AquaCrop available to the growing number of environmental modellers working in Julia, and contribute to the creation of integrated, interdisciplinary models in the environmental sciences. |
