  Title (up) Using indicators to inform agricultural decision making Type Conference Article
  Year 2014 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Most farmers carry out several types of activity of their land (different crops or livestock) and use a wide range of agricultural techniques. They often need to address one of the following questions. How would the economic returns from my various activities be affected by using production practices which have different effects on soil conservation or degradation? How would the economic returns from these activities change, if the product price and/or subsidies structure and/or input costs changed? ManPrAs is a tool for Agricultural Management Practices Assessment developed. It is a method, to assess the sustainability of different agricultural practices by combining their soil conservation index (SCI) with their economic results (Gross Margin-GM). It also simulates the impact of alternative crops and management techniques on soil degradation, farm profitability and other socio-economic aspects. ManPrAs is strongly user-orientated and is a powerful simulation tool for farmers and stakeholders involved in land management.

  Title (up) Valuing the impact of trade on local blue water Type Journal Article
  Year 2014 Publication Ecological Economics Abbreviated Journal Ecol. Econ.  
  Volume 101 Issue Pages 43-53

  Abstract International trade of agricultural goods impacts local water scarcity. By quantifying the effect of trade on crop production on grid-cell level and combining it with cell- and crop-specific virtual water contents, we are able to determine green and blue water consumption and savings. Connecting the information on trade-related blue water usage to water shadow prices gives us the possibility to value the impact of international food crop trade on local blue water resources. To determine the trade-related value of the blue water usage, we employ two models: first, an economic land- and water-use model, simulating agricultural trade, production and water-shadow prices and second, a global vegetation and agricultural model, modeling the blue and green virtual water content of the traded crops. Our study found that globally, the international trade of food crops saves blue water worth 2.4 billion US$. This net saving occurs despite the fact that Europe exports virtual blue water in food crops worth 3.1 billion US$. Countries in the Middle East and South Asia profit from trade by importing water intensive crops, countries in Southern Europe on the other hand export water intensive agricultural goods from water scarce sites, deteriorating local water scarcity.
