+ | Environmental impact assessment of farm management decisions is often only possible in a spatial context, taking local conditions as land cover, climatic and soil conditions into account. Equally, farm management decisions depend to a larger extent on those local factors. Therefore, CAPRI aims at developping data bases and tools at an appropriate spatial resolution to support monitoring and ex-ante assessment of environmental impacts of agriculture. | ||

+ | The basic methodology for spatial down-scaling had been jointly developped by the Joint Research Centre and the Institute for Institute for Food and Resource Economics, University of Bonn, to a large extent in the context of the CAPRI-Dynaspat project. The team from JRC comprised members of the AgriEnv action, as well as of the Climate Change Unit. The down-scaled data are produced by statistical estimators for [[: | ||
