Increase of agricultural production often needs to be obtained on existing arable land. This increase puts pressure on the sustainability of land management and can have considerable impact on the environment. Innovative approaches and its results, achieved within the SIGMA project (www.geoglam-sigma.info), as part of the environmental impact analyses, will be presented. This paper describes improvements we made in crop modelling using the model WOFOST and improving its resource use and management including the relation with the water and nitrogen cycle.
