| Abstract |
CARAIB (Dury et al., 2011) is a state-of-the-art dynamic vegetation model with various modules dealing with (i) soil hydrology, (ii) photosynthesis/stomatal regulation, (iii) carbon allocation and biomass growth, (iv) litter/soil carbon dynamics, (v) vegetation cover dynamics, (vi) seed dispersal, and (vii) vegetation fires. Climate and atmospheric CO2 are the primary inputs. The model calculates all major water and CO2/carbon fluxes and pools. It can be run with plant functional types or species (up to 100 different species) at various spatial scales, from the municipality to country or continental levels. Within the VOTES project (Fontaine et al., 2013), the model has been improved to include crops and meadows, and some modules have been written to translate model outputs into quantitative indicators of ecosystem services (e.g., evaluate crop yield from net primary productivity or calculate soil erosion from runoff, slope, grown species and various soil attributes). The model was run over an area covering four municipalities in central Belgium, where land-use is dominated by crops, meadows, housing and some forests and was introduced in the model at the land parcel level. Simulations were also performed for the future. In these simulations, CARAIB was combined with the Aporia Agent-Based Model, to project land-use changes up to 2050. This approach is currently extended within the MASC project (funded by Belgian Science Policy, BELSPO) to the whole Belgian territory (at 1 km2) and to Western Europe (at 20 km x 20 km). |

| Abstract |
EU rural development policy (RDP) regulation 1305/2013 aims to protect farmers’ incomes from ongoing change of climate variability (CCV), and the increase in frequency of adverse climatic events. An income stabilization tool (IST) is provided to compensate drastic drops in income, including those caused by climatic events. The present study examines some aspect of its application focussing on Mediterranean irrigation area where frequent water shortages may generate significant income reductions in the current climate conditions, and may be further exacerbated by climate change. This enhanced loss of income in the future would occur due to a change in climate variability. This change would appreciably reduce the probability of weather conditions that are favourable for irrigation, but would not significantly increase either the probability of unfavourable weather conditions or the magnitude of their impact. As the IST and other insurance tools that protect against adversity and catastrophic events are only activated under extreme conditions, farmers may not consider them to be suitable in dealing with the new climate regime. This would leave a portion of the financial resources allocated by the RDP unused, resulting in less support for climate change adaptation. |

| Abstract |
Climate-induced uncertainty in crop yields is introduced in the Norwegian sector model Jordmod. The model is comprised of a supply module in which profits for more than 300 regional farms are maximized and a market module which maximizes social welfare in the agricultural sector. In the supply module, farmers determine their plant decisions and crop input levels (N-fertilizer) subject to a discrete number of weather outcomes affecting crop yields. After that, a specific weather distribution is chosen determining crop yields. The resulting input-output mix at farm level makes up the supply side of the commodity markets which together with linear demand functions determine equilibrium levels. The procedure is repeated for each discrete weather outcome. Note that plant decisions and crop input levels remain the same for all weather outcomes as farmers face the same uncertainty during all repetitions, but crop yield will vary. Hence, equilibrium prices and quantities will vary as well allowing their representation as stochastic distributions. In a preliminary empirical application, the stochastic results are contrasted with the deterministic results based on the mean values of the weather outcomes. This comparison will shed light on the potential error made by neglecting uncertainty at the farm level. |
