Subject: Modelling the relationship between agriculture and the
environment - a review of experiences
> Dear Colleagues,
>
> DG Environment, in coordination with DG Agriculture, has recently started
> activities aimed at the development of methods and tools for assessing the
> relationship between agriculture and the environment (air, water, soils,
> etc).
>
> In the context of these activities, we (with the support of the French
> Consultants AsCA) are undertaking a review of existing approaches and
> models/tools that have been developed by research organisations,
> consultancies, branch organisations, etc. We mainly concentrate on
> European-based approaches and models, although we are also interested in
> wider approaches (e.g. general equilibrium models with world coverage) and
> models that have been applied in non-European Union (EU) countries with
> clear potential for EU applications. We are looking at a wide range of
> approaches and tools, e.g. market based economic models, bio-physical
driven
> models, innovative approaches such as multi-agent modelling, expert
systems,
> etc.
>
> We have prepared a format for collecting information on existing models
and
> approaches. We have tried to make the format as general/robust as possible
> to ensure it can be filled for a wide range of models. We have prepared
> English and French versions of the format.
>
> We would be very pleased if you could fill this format for the model(s)
you
> are developing/have developed to ensure we get a complete picture of what
is
> currently available.
>
> Once we have collected the information, we will make a synthesis of
existing
> models, to identify issues and options for future activities. We will
> organise a one day workshop in Bruxelles that will involved European
> Commission colleagues and experts/modellers. The main aim of the workshop
> will be to discuss the results of the synthesis, to present some of the
> approaches reviewed and to assess areas for future work (i.e. development
of
> models, use of existing models for policy evaluation, etc) to ensure
> appropriate tools and approaches are developed for supporting policy
> decision. The synthesis will then be widely disseminated.
>
> We thank you in advance for spending time in filling this form!! You can
> send the filled form/information whether by EMail as attached file
> (Pierre.strosser@cec.eu.int), by fax (32 2 296 9559) or by normal mail (P.
> Strosser, DG Environnement, BU5 4/115, Rue de la loi 200, B-1049
Bruxelles,
> Belgique). We would appreciate if you could send the information by
December
> 20, 2000 so we can start analysing it during before our Christmas
holidays.
>
> If you are not directly involved in the modelling of agriculture and
> environmental issues, apologies. We would be pleased in any case if you
> would forward this message to colleagues that are involved in this type of
> work and that would be interested in filling the form and providing some
> input in our activities. Also, we would be pleased to receive
> references/copies of existing publications/documents that present the
> results of past review activities of models.
>
> Do not hesitate to contact us if you need clarifications, or more
> information on our on-going/future modelling activities.
>
> Sincerely
