There is an
increasing call for tools that provide insight into the complex nature of agricultural
systems and that deal with a broad range of sustainability issues related
to policy intervention, technological
innovations and changes in environmental conditions (e.g.
climate change). The Tradeoff Analysis
Model is based on spatially-explicit econometric
simulation models linked to
spatially-referenced bio-physical simulation models to simulate land use
and input use decisions and their impact
on e.g. environment, poverty, human health, and food security. |
