Microeconomic modeling has been an important tool for agricultural economists for several decades and promises to be important for ad-dressing the research problems of the 1980s as well. This volume explores the possibilities for using micromodeling to analyze how individual farm businesses react to and are affected by farm policies. Although this purpose represents only one potential use of micro-modeling, effective modeling for policy analysis necessitates a broad look from several historical, analytical, and institutional perspectives. The Micromodeling Conference held November 18-20, 1981, at Airlie House, Virginia, under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Agri-culture's Economic Research Service and the Farm Foundation reflected these concerns.

Systems Analysis and Modeling in Food and Agriculture is a component of Encyclopedia of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Systems analysis and modeling is being used increasingly in understanding and solving problems in food and agriculture. The purpose of systems analysis is to support decisions by emphasizing the interactions of processes and components within a system. Frequently investigated systems level questions in agriculture and food are relevant to the 6 E's: Environment, Energy, Ecology, Economics, Education, and Efficiency. The theme on Systems Analysis and Modeling in Food and Agriculture with contributions from distinguished experts in the field provides information on key topics related to food and agricultural system. The coverage include an overview of food system; system level aspects related to energy, environment, and social/policy issues; knowledge bases and decision support; computer models for crops, food processing, water resources, and agricultural meteorology; collection and analysis methods for data from field experiments; use of models and information systems. This volume is aimed at the following a wide spectrum of audiences from the merely curious to those seeking in-depth knowledge: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.

This book focuses on the use of farm level, micro- and macro-data of cooperative systems and networks in developing new robust, reliable and coherent modeling tools for agricultural and environmental policy analysis. The efficacy of public intervention on agriculture is largely determined by the existence of reliable information on the effects of policy options and market developments on farmers' production decisions and in particular, on key issues such as levels of agricultural and non-agricultural output, land use and incomes, use of natural resources, sustainable-centric management, structural change and the viability of family farms. Over the last years, several methods and analytical tools have been developed for policy analysis using various sets of data. Such methods have been based on integrated approaches in an effort to investigate the above key issues and have thus attempted to offer a powerful environment for decision making, particularly in an era of radical change for both agriculture and the wider economy.

Eine unzureichende natürliche Ressourcenausstattung in Verbindung mit schwachen institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen hat in der Vergangenheit zu Armut im nördlichen Ghana geführt. Unsichere Niederschlagsmengen haben insbesondere die Verwendung verbesserter Technologien wie z.B. Dünger erschwert und die landwirtschaftliche Produktivität verringert. Dies gilt ebenso für landwirtschaftliche Haushalte im White-Volta Basin in der ghanaischen Upper East Region. Die Ausweitung von Bewässerungslandwirtschaft wurde lange Zeit als eine Entwicklungsstrategie zur Lösung der komplexen Probleme in der Region wahrgenommen. Dies führte zu erheblichen Investitionen des öffentlichen Sektors in die mittel- sowie kleinstrukturierte landwirtschaftliche Bewässerungsinfrastruktur. Allerdings begrenzte das bestehende stringende makroökonomische Regime in Ghana die Finanzierungskapazität des öffentlichen Sektors. Dennoch sorgte die zunehmende Lücke zwischen lokaler Getreideproduktion und –nachfrage, wie z.B. nach Reis, dafür, dass die Strategie einer Ausweitung der Bewässerungslandwirtschaft als eine zentrale Maßnahme in Ghana’s ländlicher Entwicklungspolitik bis dato aufrecht erhalten wird. Durch die Nutzung primärer und sekundärer Datensätze analysiert die vorliegende Studie die Bestimmungsfaktoren für Bewässerung auf Haushaltsebene vor dem Hintegrund des neuen makroökonomischen Rahmens. Ebenso wird ein sog. Safety-First Risk Programming Modell zur Simulation des Einflusses verschiedener Politikmaßnahmen im Hinblick auf die Bewässerungsentscheidungen von auf Subsistenz und kommerzieller Landwirtschaft ausgerichteter Haushalte erstellt. Die Resultate dieser Studie legen nahe, dass die Vermögensausstattung eines Haushalts im allgemeinen und das vorhandene Arbeitsangebot im speziellen eine signifikante Rolle im Entscheidungsprozess des Haushalts spielen. Die ökonometrische Analysen sowie die Simulationsstudien zeigen, dass zwischen der Bewässerungsentscheidung des Haushalts und externer Beteiligung eine Komplementarität besteht. Diese korrespondiert mit der Beobachtung, dass in Ermangelung von Krediten Landwirte auf außerlandwirtschaftliche Finanzierungsquellen zurückgreifen um die Bewässerungstechnologie zu finanzieren. Eine signifikante Zunahme des Kreditangebotes für kommerzielle Farmer führt zu einem Anstieg der Nachfrage nach Arbeit welches profitabel durch die auf Subsistenz ausgerichteten Landwirte angeboten werden könnte. Schließlich legen die Ergebnisse dieser Studie nahe, dass die Ausweitung der Bewässerungslandwirtschaft zu einem Anstieg des Einsatzes von inorganischen Düngemitteln führt.

Agriculture is the product of a complex mixture of behavioural, biophysical and market drivers. Understanding how these factors interact to produce crops and livestock for food has been the focus of economic investigation for many years. The advent of optimisation algorithms and the exponential growth in computing technology has allowed significant growth in mathematical modelling of the dynamics of agricultural systems. The complexity of approaches has grown in parallel with the availability of data at increasingly finer resolutions. Farm-level models have been widely used in agricultural economic studies to understand how farmers and land owners respond to market and policy levers. This book provides an in-depth description of different methodologies and techniques currently used in farm-level modelling. While giving an overview of the theoretical grounding behind the models, an applied approach is also used. Case studies range from the application of modelling to policy reforms and the subsequent impacts on rural communities and food supply. This book also provides descriptions of the use of farm-level models in much wider fields such as aggregation and linking with sectoral models. Its purpose is to show the reader the methods that have been employed to inform decision-makers about how to improve the economic, social and environmental goals required to achieve the aims of multidimensional policy.
