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
Non-Food Land use competition Food Biodiversity
ENFA Model Structure Limits Limits Resources Land Use Technologies Products Markets Inputs Demand Functions, Trade Processing Technologies Supply Functions
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
Inputs Outputs Technology Adoption Non-Market Impacts
Consistency • Representative yields not maximum yields on experimental plots • Representative input quantities on labor and energy intensive inputs • Representative and complete variable costs on remaining inputs • Environmental Impacts (from EPIC)
Technical Details • Programmed in GAMS • Non-linear functions are linearly approximated • Solved with CPLEX • Variables and equations are aggregated to blocks
Resource Limits • Limits exist on • Land • Water • Family labor • Public grazing land
Technology Potentials Measures of potential • Technical • Economic • single strategy • multiple strategy
