  Title (down) Integrated assessment of business crop productivity and profitability for use in food supply forecasting Type Conference Article
  Year 2014 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Climate change suggests long periods without rainfall will occur in the future quite often. Previous approach on dependence crop-yields from size of rain confirms the existence of a statistically significant relation. We built a model describing the amount of precipitation and taking into account periods of drought, using a mixture of gamma distribution and one point-distribution. Parameter estimators were constructed from rainfall data using the method of maximum likelihood. Long series of days or decades of drought allow to determine the probabilities of adverse developments in agriculture as the basis for forecasting crop yields in the future (years 2030, 2050). Forecasted yields can be used for assessment of productivity and profitability of some selected crops in Kujavian-Pomeranian region. Assumptions and parameters of large-scale spatial economic models will be applied to build up relevant solutions. Calculated with this approach output could be useful to expect decrease in agricultural output in the region. It will enable to shape effective agricultural policy to know how to balance food supply and demand through appropriate managing with stored food raw material and/or import/export policies. Used precipitation-yields dependencies method let verify earlier used methodology through comparison of obtained solutions concerning forecasted yields and closed to it uncertainty analysis.This work was co-financed by NCBiR, Contract no.

  Title (down) Integrated analysis of climate change impacts and adaptation measures in Austrian agriculture Type Journal Article
  Year 2014 Publication German Journal of Agricultural Economics Abbreviated Journal German Journal of Agricultural Economics  
  Volume 63 Issue 3 Pages 156-176  
  Keywords land use; modelling; climate change impact; adaptation; integrated analysis; epic; pasma; crop production; land-use; management-practices; model projections; central-europe; soil-erosion; water; variability; strategies; region  
  Abstract An integrated modelling framework (IMF) has been developed and applied to analyse climate change impacts and the effectiveness of adaptation measures in Austrian agriculture. The IMF couples the crop rotation model CropRota, the bio-physical process model EPIC and the bottom-up economic land use model PASMA at regional level (NUTS-3) considering agri-environmental indicators. Four contrasting regional climate model (RCM) simulations represent climate change until 2050. The RCM simulations are applied to a baseline and three adaptation and policy scenarios. Climate change increases crop productivity on national average in the IMF. Changes in average gross margins at national level range from 0% to + 5% between the baseline and the three adaptation and policy scenarios. The impacts at NUTS-3 level range from -5% to + 7% between the baseline and the three adaptation and policy scenarios. Adaptation measures such as planting of winter cover crops, reduced tillage and irrigation are effective in reducing yield losses, increasing revenues, or in improving environmental states under climate change. Future research should account for extreme weather events in order to analyse whether average productivity gains at the aggregated level suffice to cover costs from expected higher climate variability.

  Title (down) Incorporating uncertainty in a deterministic agricultural sector model Type Conference Article
  Year 2014 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages

  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.
