The way we produce food must adapt to a variable and changing climate. And key to achieving this is to improve the link between climate information and agricultural practices, especially those of smallholder farmers in developing countries. ‘Agro-climate tools’ do just that and some are introduced here.

The contemporary concern about anthropogenic release of greenhouse gas (GHG) into the
environment and the contribution of livestock to this phenomenon have sparked animal
scientists’ interest in predicting methane (CH4) emissions by ruminants. Focusing on milk
production, we address six basic nutrition models or feeding standards (mostly empirical
systems) and five complex nutrition models (mostly mechanistic systems), describe their key
characteristics, and highlight their similarities and differences. Four models were selected to
