ENFA Model ENFA Kick-off Meeting Hamburg, 10 May 2005
ENFA Model Simulates land use decisions in the EU agricultural and forest sectors Represents markets and computes market equilibrium Portrays trade on a global level Accounts for environmental impacts of land use decisions Spatially explicit, dynamic
Food Non-Food Biodiversity Land use competition
ENFA Model Structure Resources Land Use Technologies Processing Technologies ProductsMarkets Inputs Limits Supply Functions Limits Demand Functions, Trade
ENFA Optimization Model determines the "optimal" use to which each individual technology should be used in each region and time period Maximize welfare Obey restrictions Product prices are endogenous
ENFA Spatial Resolution Political regions (NUTS 2) Soil types Farm types Altitude levels Slopes
ENFA Dynamics 5 to 10 year steps from 2005 to 2030 (2100?) Technical progress Demand & industry growth Resource change Policy scenarios
Data Resource data –Climate, Soil, Water, Existing Forests, Population, Labor Technological data –Inputs / outputs for crop, livestock, forest management, and product processing and transportation options Market data –Observed prices, production, trade, and income levels –Supply Demand function parameters Environmental impact data –Emissions, Sequestration, Erosion, Biodiversity
ENFA Technologies Traditional agriculture –major crops –major livestock Forestry Non-food agriculture Processing (Wildlife preservation)
Non-market Impacts Greenhouse gas emissions Air, water, soil quality Income distribution Rural development / employment Wildlife
Simultaneity Technologies Non-Market Impacts Current and Potential Policies … resource competition … multiple impacts
