The book centres around an analysis of the options for the
agronomic development of semiarid regions with winter rains (i.e.
Mediterranean regions). Data obtained in the northern Negev desert
in Israel served as a starting point. On the basis of these data
crop and sheep husbandry systems were designed and integrated into
agro-pastoral systems in which small-grain crops act as a buffer
for feed production. These systems serves as a basis for rational
planning of regional agricultural development under alternative
development objectives. In analyzing the possibilities a three-step
approach was developed: first the feasibility and robustness of
selected innovative techniques at the farm level were investigated
in relation to variability in weather and prices, then a matrix of
production techniques for a region was formulated in terms of their
physical imputs and outputs, and finally this matrix was embedded
into a dynamic multiple-goal linear programming model. In comparing
results for different goals, the consequencess for goal achievement
and desired production techniques can be made explicit, and in this
way the book can be a guide for actual development planning in
semiarid regions.
