Agriculture is the product of a complex mixture of behavioural,
biophysical and market drivers. Understanding how these factors
interact to produce crops and livestock for food has been the focus
of economic investigation for many years. The advent of
optimisation algorithms and the exponential growth in computing
technology has allowed significant growth in mathematical modelling
of the dynamics of agricultural systems. The complexity of
approaches has grown in parallel with the availability of data at
increasingly finer resolutions. Farm-level models have been widely
used in agricultural economic studies to understand how farmers and
land owners respond to market and policy levers. This book provides
an in-depth description of different methodologies and techniques
currently used in farm-level modelling. While giving an overview of
the theoretical grounding behind the models, an applied approach is
also used. Case studies range from the application of modelling to
policy reforms and the subsequent impacts on rural communities and
food supply. This book also provides descriptions of the use of
farm-level models in much wider fields such as aggregation and
linking with sectoral models. Its purpose is to show the reader the
methods that have been employed to inform decision-makers about how
to improve the economic, social and environmental goals required to
achieve the aims of multidimensional policy.
