CAPRI Training Session II

The CAPRI training session aimed at:

  • Learning to analyse how changes in agricultural policies affect agrifood markets, farming decisions and the environment.
  • Improving knowledge about agricultural economics and quantitative modelling of agriculture.
  • Learning how to work with result sets from the CAPRI model and its Graphical User Interface (GUI).
  • Discussing issues of common interest for CAPRI contributors and users (i.e. model development and maintenance).

CAPRI Training Session I

In order to promote the use of quantitative tools in policy impact assessment with regard to land use and rural development, we offer a yearly Training Session for the economic model CAPRI.

In 2014, the Training Seesion was hosted by the Thünen Institute in Braunschweig, Germany, 9-11th Sept. For 3 days, a larger group of interested researchers and stakeholders (ca. 25-30) was brought together. The aims of the Training Session were:

      • Learning to analyse how different agriculture related policies impact on markets, farm decisions and income, and the environment
      • Improving knowledge about agricultural economics and quantitative modelling of agriculture
      • Learning how to work with result sets from the CAPRI model and its Graphical User Interface (GUI)

Besides hands-on approaches and real world examples, applied methodology, present key assumptions and developments of the CAPRI baseline model were introduced, and the policy background of those scenarios was analysed and discussed.
The main principle of the training was “learning by doing”, taking place in small groups. The groups analysed the same scenarios in parallel but from different perspectives (market, sectors, agricultural and rural economies, and environmental issues). Participants were working with the tools and preparing scenarios and use tables, maps, and/or graphs to analyse existing results. Each group received support by trainers from the consortium, and groups conducted exchanges.
