Thematic complex:
Creating resilient agricultural systems
Project duration:
01.01.2024 - 31.12.2027
Investigated countries:
Germany, Poland, Netherlands

The European agricultural sector confronts economic challenges arising from volatile fossil fuel and fertilizer prices. AgEnRes tackles this issue by devising sustainable strategies to diminish dependence on fossil fuels and enhance resilience to energy price fluctuations. In leading Work Package 6, IAMO focuses on the interdependence between energy-saving investments and farm structures by analyzing how farmers' decisions impact economic and environmental outcomes at farm and regional levels. This investigation aims to unveil the factors shaping optimal production and investment decisions, considering energy prices, fluctuations, and farmers' preferences.

Methodologically, we will use AgriPoliS and calibrate it with empirical data from case study regions in the Netherlands, Germany and Poland. The collaboration with behavioral economists from the University of Trento, Italy, and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences will enable an extension of AgriPoliS for modeling investment decisions and risk management instruments under fluctuating prices.
