Kommentare/ Inhalte: This course provides theoretical principles and practical applications for assessing land-use
systems and land use developments. The first part of the course will cover a biophysical process
model for local analysis of agricultural systems. Driven by daily weather, soil, and management
data, this model simulates crop biomass development and related soil and agro-ecological
processes. The second part of the course covers the fundamentals of agricultural sector models
(ASM). These models depict crop and livestock production decisions comprehensively for
diverse farming systems and entire regions. The agricultural product supply is linked to domestic
and foreign demand for food and non-food commodities via national and international markets.
The combination of biophysical process and
agricultural sector models provides a powerful
methodology to jointly assess the economic
and ecological impacts of land use. The
methodology can explore agricultural impacts,
adaptation options, and mitigation strategies
under changing environments and socio-
economic developments.
Lernziel: Students will become familiar with coupled model systems for integrated land use assessment
and grasp their theoretical foundations. Through hands-on exercises, students will learn to apply
i) a biophysical process model (EPIC) for agricultural systems simulation and ii) an agricultural
sector model (ASM) coupled with EPIC for economic analysis.
Vorgehen: Modeling agricultural land use and the impacts of land-use change

Learning Objectives:
Students will become familiar with coupled model systems for integrated land use assessment
and grasp their theoretical foundations. Through hands-on exercises, students will learn to apply
i) a biophysical process model (EPIC) for agricultural systems simulation and ii) an agricultural
sector model (ASM) coupled with EPIC for economic analysis.
Procedure:
Introductory lectures with extensive computer exercises.
Day 1+2: Introduction to EPIC + Exercises
Day 3: Introduction to General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) + Exercises
Day 4+5: Introduction to Agricultural Sector Model (ASM) + Exercises
Literatur: To be announced at the beginning of the course.
