|---|---|---|---|
| SFARMOD/Future scenariosProduction demand - the model then works out the prices of commodities | Has own crop model.Soil and climate data | Has own grass model.Soil and climate data | Has simple dairy cow model of DMIntake and energy and proterin requirements. |
| How are results of of crop and livestock models assimilated in socio-economic models? | How is technological progress in arable agriculture taken into account? | How is technological progress in livestock farming taken into account? | |
