Modelling regional impacts of trends and policies 3
Shifting approaches
Policy agenda• Sustainable development:
– integrated and coherent policies– stronger global dimension
Scientific agenda• Complex questions:
– Assessment and balancing trade-offs in 3-P domain– from technical solutions to integrated policies,
combining policy areas, scales and longer time horizons
Modelling regional impacts of trends and policies 4
Examples of emerging questions
• Effect of liberalisation of the CAP on nutrient emissions and biodiversity;
• Effect of nutrient policies (including WFD) on agricultural production, rural economies, land use, GHG emissions and biodiversity;
• Effect of biofuel directive on food production/prices, fertiliser use, nutrient emissions and biodiversity (land use),
• Not only in Europe but also elsewhere.

Changing role of farming: importance for land use and landscape
• Agri land-use remains strong (>40%)
• High impact on carbon, erosion, biodiversity, nutrients, landscape

Complex questions complex integrated models?
• Partly yes, but …
• Questions link different policy or scientific areas
• For many areas models already exist
• Investing in combination of existing models probably more efficient than development of new models
• Policy questions are not always complex also maintain less complex approaches
