Scenario Analysis

Technology

New technologies are continuously emerging in agriculture.  These technologies often bring about significant changes in the productivity of agriculture bringing benefits to producers and consumers while reducing environmental impacts.  The WAEES models are designed to evaluate the benefits of new and existing technologies through scenario analysis.  The models can be utilized for futuristic scenarios for new technologies or to capture the benefits of existing technologies through historical scenario simulation.  The results of the analysis provide information on the benefits of new technologies to agricultural producers, consumers, and technology suppliers.
