Environmental and Agricultural Modelling Integrated Approaches for Policy Impact Assessment /

Agriculture increasingly faces the challenge of balancing its multiple functions in a sustainable way. Integrated assessment and modelling (IAM) can provide insight into the potential impacts of policy changes. However, concepts to address the wide range of issues and functions typical for agricultu...
