Open publisher page 17 citations

Abstract

This paper uses one particular bioeconomic model, first, to explore some questions and hence generate information pertaining to the complex interactions existing in an integrated crop-livestock farming system in Ethiopia. Secondly, it examines various ways in which such a model may be used to assess, ex ante, the likely impact of multiple technology adoption on such systems under a set of policy scenarios. The Ginchi watershed in the Ethiopian highlands is used as a case study.
