SEAMLESS
System for Environmental and Agricultural Modelling, Linking European Science and Society
Abstract
The SEAMLESS integrated project aims at developing a computerized, integrated framework (SEAMLESS-IF) to assess and compare, ex-ante, alternative agricultural and environmental policy options, allowing:
- Analysis at the full range of scales (farm to EU and global), whilst focusing on the most important issues emerging at each scale;
- Analysis of the environmental, economic and social contributions of a multifunctional agriculture towards sustainable rural development and rural viability;
- Analysis of a broad range of issues and agents of change, such as climate change, environmental policies, rural development options, effects of an enlarging EU, international competition and effects on developing countries.
