Descripción
Within the context of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Common Agricultural Policy
(CAP), the design of effective and sustainable agricultural and water resources management policies
presents multiple challenges. This paper presents a methodological framework that will be used to
identify synergies and trade-offs between the CAP and the WFD in relation to their economic and
water resources environmental effects, and to assess the cost-effectiveness of measures to control
water pollution, in a representative case study catchment in Scotland. The approach is based on the
combination of a biophysical simulation model (CropSyst) with a mathematical programming model
(FSSIM-MP), so as to provide a better understanding and representation of the economic and
agronomic/environmental processes that take place within the agricultural system.
