What does research have at hand to analyse?


Methods and databases targeted at specific processes or scales:
 Market
 Farming systems
 Cropping systems
 ……………



which are …..
 developed for a specific purpose
 often poorly re-used
 difficult to link for integrated studies
 not readily used for integrated assessment of indicators



Fragmentation, gaps, lack of integration!
Aims of SEAMLESS project


Overcoming fragmentation in research models and data in Europe for
integrated assessment of agricultural systems



Better informed impact assessment of new agricultural and
environmental policies

To advance:
 Consistent micro-macro analysis
 Consistent economic, environmental, social and institutional analysis
 Re-use of research tools for a range of issues

Outline of presentation
On integrated science



SEAMLESS: one approach to Integrated Assessment
Benefits:






allows to structure the development of IA tools in components
using advances of science focusing on parts of the system
a degree of flexibility for range of applications

Limitations for specific problems:


details of some components not always needed



does ‘generic’ approach allow adequate system representation:
• relevant feedback mechanisms and interactions captured?
On integrated science


High data demand – three routes:
 statistical sampling (micro-macro upscaling:
Bezlepkina et al.)
 science-based rules to ‘generate’ crucial but missing
data (agro-management data: Oomen et al.)
 European data (soils, weather, farm: Andersen et al.)



Questions:
 trade-off between integration and flexibility?
 scaling methods to be further tested
 forecasting farm responses
 integration of (agro-)ecosystems services

  1. Impact of policies beyond scale at which implemented Impact of policies beyond targeted domain
  2. Average change in market prices of product groups with the WTO proposal (% change to baseline). Source: SEAMCAP. Prices in the EU decline more than in the rest of the world with meat experiencing the most notable drop. Within the average for meat the strongest decline (-12 %) is observed for beef. The major price decreases for meat area however may not materialize due to the use of sensitive products by the EU. Denominating meat tariff lines as sensitive would greatly limit the tariff reductions although a quota would need to be opened to compensate third countries for their limited increase in market access.
  3. Regional change in agricultural income with the WTO proposal (% change to baseline). Source: SEAMCAP
  4. Average farm income changes by region with the WTO scenario (% change to baseline, in brackets number of farm type models per region). Source: FSSIM
  5. It shows the observed and predicted development of farm numbers of 2 production orientation classes (arable and dairy farms) in 2 size classes (M for medium and L for large farms). In the observation period (1990-2003) one can see that the number of medium sized dairy farms decreases drastically, whereas the number of large dairy farms increases. The number of medium and large arable farms slightly increases until and starts to decrease after 2000. Decreasing farm numbers are predicted for medium dairy farms and medium and large arable farms. The number of large dairy farms is predicted to further increase, although at a lower pace.
  6. 1. The annual rates of farm number decrease had already been very large during the observation period (1990-2003) and these rates are predicted to continue into the future. This counts for the red regions in France, Spain, Portugal and Germany. 2. Compared to other European countries, structural change in terms of decreasing farm numbers started late (in 1997 or later) in the UK and in Italy, but therefore the rate of change was very fast. These highly negative growth rates of the last observation years are predicted to continue into the future. In fact, the question why even similar (in terms of farm structure) European regions react so differently is part of the ongoing research for my thesis. I will let you know if I find a better explanation (in terms of causing factors) within the next two weeks. The map on the left shows the predicted annual rates of change for total farm numbers (aggregated over all farm types). For the regions in red high farm number losses are predicted, yellow means moderate losses, and for the green regions no change or even small positive growth rates are expected. - The map on the right serves as regional comparison of the mobility of farms across farm types. In red regions farms are likely to change the farm types, in yellow regions a moderate number of farms changes the farm type, and in green regions farms are not very likely to change their farm type.
  7. Meta-modelling Baysian networks Etc. allows to structure the development of IA tools in relatively independent components using advances of science focusing on parts of the system a degree of flexibility for range of applications
  8. Component-based approach allows structuring the workforce and international collaboration The teams developing components can work relatively independent and may consist of specialists with sufficient integrative skills A team of adequate size needs to have the necessary conceptual and methodological skills for integration and linkage of components Linkage of components puts high demand on state-of-the-art information technology (IT) which is not present in all teams Experience of SEAMLESS showed the crucial importance of a team with unprecedented interdisciplinary skills and willing to invest in IT There is a third dimension: Integrative scientists, IT specialists and Collaboration amongst 30 teams
