This study considers a quantitative approach for assessing the performance of Tunisian farming systems to face climate change. It is based on the resilience concept and the calculation, with a modelling chain, of three indicators: land stock, labour stock, and income flux. Two system states, “base” and “climate change”, and a time horizon of 2010–2...

African farming systems are highly heterogeneous: between agroecological and socioeconomic environments, in the wide variability in farmers’ resource endowments and in farm management. This means that single solutions (or ‘silver bullets’) for improving farm productivity do not exist. Yet to date few approaches to understand constraints and explore...

The weed Phalaris brachystachys Link (short-spiked canarygrass) severely affects cereal production in regions with a Mediterranean climate. A mathematical model for simulating the population dynamics of this weed was constructed using previously reported brachystachys populations.

The rationale of whole-farm insurance (WFI) is to pool all farm's insurable risks into a single policy. This paper compared separated multi-peril crop-specific insurance policies (CSI) with WFI. It first compared the loss ratios of frequent buyers of agricultural insurance in Spain to confirm whether data provide support for combining separate prem...

Irrigated agriculture is one of the most important sources of nitrate pollution of water resources. For this reason, during the past decade, various policies have been proposed in order to prevent this negative impact of farming activities. The aim of this work is therefore to analyze the effects of the joint application of the last Common Agricult...

A dynamic model of the lactating dairy goat, combining a minimum of mechanistic representations of homeorhetic regulations and a long-term approach, was developed. It describes (i) the main changes in body weight, dry-matter intake, milk production and composition of a dairy goat; (ii) the succession of pregnancy and lactation throughout the produc...

This PD describes the concepts developed by WP6 to calculate complex indicators with up scaling procedures of APES and FSSIM model outputs from the farm-type level to the regional level. The description of upscaling procedures should be taken as a first proposal and preliminary reflections of WP6 on the broader subject of upscalling to be further s...
