Накратко на български
Селскостопанското биоразнообразие се анализира чрез икономически и компютърни модели, за да се разбере как опазването на различни видове култури помага на фермите в Южна Европа. Това е важно за поддържането на продуктивността на земеделието при променящия се климат.

Climate change and Resilience of Agricultural System: an econometric and computational analysis
Priorities of the current and future European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) are to enhance the climate change resilience of European agriculture, increase climate change adaptation and protect biodiversity. Biodiversity is now a considered part of the EU’s economic growth strategy. The EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2030 “Bring nature back into our lives” aims to restore ecosystems and ecosystem services and to improve biodiversity, the ultimate goal being to increase resilience to future shocks. The Farm to Fork Strategy aims at reducing the environmental and climate footprint of the EU food system and strengthen its resilience. Agrobiodiversity conservation at the global, regional and farm levels can provide natural adaptation and insurance to farm households as well as resilience to farming communities and sustainability. In particular, agrobiodiversity is increasingly regarded as a key component for the future adaptation of agriculture to a changing climate. Climate change Resilience of Agriculture System (CRAS) project aims to better understand the contribution of agrobiodiversity to the resilience of agroecosystems. The overall objective of the CRAS project is to assess whether agrobiodiversity conservation can support long-run agricultural productivity amid climate change. The project is developed coupling econometric and computational models. The analysis focuses on southern European countries (namely Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Greece) whose agriculture sector has been shown to be particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. Overall the project has: • increased the methodological and core knowledge on adaptation through agrobiodiversity conservation of the agriculture sector. • advanced the economic assessment of the impact of agrobiodiversity on long-run farm net productivity coupling econometric and macroeconomic models. • improved the empirical foundation of Integrated assessment models and enhanced the modelling and assessments of adaptation policy of biodiversity conservation. • exposed the debate on biodiversity conservation and climate change from the research area to the policy arena and non-scientific audience.

Цел на проекта
Objectives of the current and future European CAP are to enhance the climate change resilience of European agriculture, increase climate change adaptation and protect biodiversity. Climate change Resilience of Agriculture System (CRAS) project aims, through an econometric and computational analysis, to better understand the contribution of agrobiodiversity to the resilience of agroecosystems and to the mitigation of the impacts of climate change on the agricultural sector. Objectives of the project are:1.Estimating the contribution of agrobiodiversity to the economic resilience of the agricultural system applying the Ricardian approach. 2.Including agrobiodiversity into a CGE model to assess its role in smoothing climate change impacts on the agricultural sector, using parameters estimated in 1)3.To evaluate the potential for adaptation policies favouring agrobiodiversity conservation to reduce climate impacts. The modified version of GE3AR model is used to assess the macro-economic (general equilibrium) implications of agrobiodiversity as a damage smoothing opportunity.In addition to policy advices, the project will contribute at exposing the debate on biodiversity conservation and climate change through an array of dissemination and communication efforts. During the outgoing phase, Dr. Lea Nicita will conduct the research and training at the Yale F&ES School, under the supervision of Professor Mendelsohn. Afterwards she will return to CMCC under the supervision of Professor Carlo Carraro. The project with its trainings improves her research and transferable skills, and extends her international networks through the contacts of the host and the beneficiary. By including versatile training-through-research, multiple dissemination and communication methods, public engagement and networking the project has a strong impact on the researcher’s career, on the future research collaboration as well as on the public interest.
