Atrazine is one of the most effective and inexpensive herbicides used in corn and sorghum production. Atrazine is also one of the most frequently detected chemicals in water systems. This paper uses the CEEPES model to evaluate the benefit-risk tradeoffs associated with five policies to restrict...

Informed debate on agricultural nonpoint pollution requires evaluation of regional water quality in relation to management practices. It is prohibitive, in terms of cost and time, to run the site-specific process models for regional policy analysis. Therefore, a simplified and robust...

Economic impacts are evaluated for four agricultural policies intended to increase organic carbon stored in agricultural soils. Two policies are directed at changing agricultural practices on tillage and cover crops. The other two involve alternative land use scenarios under the Conservation...

Described in this report is the application of an integrated agro-ecological modeling system that has been constructed around Agriculture Canada's Canadian Regional Agriculture Model (CRAM) to analyze the economic and environmental impacts of proposed agricultural policies for Alberta,...

Analysis of alternative environmental policies often requires execution of computer simulation models of the ecological or economic phenomena involved. This paper explores efficiencies to be gained by using these simulation models in a program of constructing metamodels. Constructing a metamodel...

This paper presents a novel approach for generating information for regulatory and policy analysis, based on farmers' adoption of weed control technology. A simulation model, WISH, is used to generate cost and risk information on 258 weed control strategies. The environmental policies simulated...

An environmental modeling system is being constructed around the EPIC model that will be interfaced with an economic component (RS-CRAM) within an integrated modeling system to analyze agricultural policies such as GRIP for western Canada. A description of the major EPIC subcomponents is...
