The use of reclaimed or treated water from urban wastewater treatment plants for irrigation has been proposed as an alternative source to address scarcity issues in Europe. In this paper using agro-economic modelling, we analyse if available agriculture the potential reduce freshwater abstraction and, consequently, stress. Implementing exogenous quantities additional supply at NUTS 2 level CAPRI model, found that reuse is a possible shortages with very negligible effect on farmers' income...
Abstract The EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has had limited success in mitigating agriculture's environmental degradation. In this paper we simulate the impacts of 2013 “greening” reform on biodiversity and ecosystem services environmentally contrasting landscapes. We do by integrating an agent‐based model structural change with spatial ecological production functions, show that will likely fail to deliver substantial benefits. Our study implies greening measures need be tailored...
Methane's short atmospheric life has important implications for the design of global climate change mitigation policies in agriculture. Three different agricultural economic models are used to explore how short- and long-term warming effects methane can affect cost-effectiveness dietary transitions. Results show that choice a particular metric methane's potential is key determine optimal options, with metrics based on shorter-term impacts leading greater overall emission reduction. Also,...
Agriculture, forestry and other land use are important components of a global strategy to limit climate change. Using the example EU agriculture, this paper examines potential contribution technological (i.e. technical management-based) greenhouse gas mitigation options targets. The quantitative framework presented allows analyze disparities between marginal abatement cost curves (MACCs) derived from two different commonly used approaches, aggregated regional MACCs. Results highlight...
We have quantified inputs and fate of nutrients in European fresh marine waters from 1990 to 2018. used the conceptual model GREEN assess impact efforts on curbing nutrient pollution regions. In first two decades, i.e. 1990s through start new millennium, decreased significantly. Nutrient freshwaters sea largely reduced all regions, although at different pace. However, around 2008-2010 trends changed, marking an increase last decade, particularly agricultural diffuse sources. some current are...
Abstract Future trajectories of agricultural productivity need to incorporate environmental targets, including the reduction pesticides use. Landscape features supporting natural pest control (LF-NPC) offer a nature-based solution that can serve as partial substitute for synthetic pesticides, thereby future levels. Here, we introduce novel approach quantify contribution LF-NPC yields and its associated economic value crop production in broad-scale context. Using European Union case study,...
Agriculture is a major source of air pollution in Europe, with adverse impacts on human health. Having recognized the serious health outcomes, and direct response to public demand for cleaner environment, European policies are aiming reduce pollution. This study proposes shift more plant-based diets help achieve bold reduction targets from agriculture. To assess potential agricultural pollution, we combine large-scale partial equilibrium model agriculture (CAPRI) an atmospheric chemistry...
As a part of the greening EU's Common Agricultural Policy in 2013, Ecological Focus Areas (EFA) became mandatory for many European farmers, with aim to enhance on-farm biodiversity. However, their effects on biodiversity have been disputed. In this interdisciplinary effort, we assessed current and alternative formulations EFA regulations Sweden. By complementing economic ecological modelling interviews persons at administrative advisory bodies narrative decision game were able demonstrate...
Summary Agricultural stakeholders have concerns regarding the potential impact of Farm‐to‐Fork and Biodiversity strategies on agricultural sector. Several studies been published recently trying to understand how these would affect sector, including a JRC report modelling environmental climate ambition in sector written by authors this article. In article, we argue that narrow focus analysis undertaken is main driver reported reduction production EU, its deteriorating trade balance increased...
Abstract This paper analyses how climate change might impact EU agricultural markets by mid-century, considering a large ensemble of projections from different models, market adjustments and trade feedbacks. Applying consistent driven productivity shocks to global multi-commodity model we show that the negative direct effects on crop production in could be offset adjustments. The simulations reveal has heterogeneous impacts across regions. farming sector, particular, actually benefit as are...
Limiting climate change below a 2 °C temperature increase this century will require substantial reductions of greenhouse gas emissions and the transition to climate-friendly, low carbon society. In paper, economic impact less carbon-intensive economy on agricultural markets is estimated by means an integrated modelling framework. First, macroeconomic impacts moving into global are analysed applying different taxes in general equilibrium Second, potential adoption emission mitigation...
Agricultural soils contribute to human welfare through their generation of manifold ecosystem services such as food security, water quality and climate regulation, but these are degraded by common farming practices. We have developed a roadmap for evaluating the contribution both private- public-good generated agricultural societal welfare. The approach considers needs decision-makers at different levels, from farmers policy-makers. This we achieve combining production functions—to quantify...
Abstract We address a new agricultural policy concern following the decoupling of CAP direct payments in 2005: passive farming, whereby landowners maintain their area to collect without producing commodities. It is claimed that farming hindering development by ‘blocking’ access farmland for expanding farmers. evaluate links between EU's Single Payment Scheme (SPS), land use and development. Following identification rational landowners’ optimal land‐use choice, we effects SPS using spatial,...
Abstract The EU aims to reach 25% of the total agricultural area under organic farming by 2030. Interlinking a farm‐level and agro‐economic market model, we assess impacts achieving target either at Member State or aggregated level. Results show that flexible budget allocation across States would be more cost‐efficient less detrimental production. Conversely, targeting level proves effective in generating greater evenly distributed environmental benefits regions. results indicate importance...
Sustainable management of water resources is imperative in the Western Balkan (WB) region, due to seasonal, spatial and quality distribution these resources. This paper analyzed consumption associated relationships between economic sectors Macedonia 2005, based on input–output (IO) analysis. Using an environmentally extended IO framework, was investigated by developing several indicators. Disaggregation agriculture sector into 11 sub-sectors, combined with backward forward linkage analysis,...

The analysis uses models such as a Cobb-Douglas production function well General Linear Model. findings support negative statistically significant impact productivity profitability vegetable study area. A reduction from 0.43 to 0.2 Simpson index, average, increases by approximately 7.06%. However, results reveal that is somewhat less importance due...
