Abstract
In analysis of future agricultural change the trade offs between environmental and economic goals of agricultural production is an important issue. The present paper focuses on the use of linear programming for interdisciplinary research by economists, agronomists and soil scientists. Application of the environmental economic model for scenario analysis allows the effects of technical developments, environmental policy and price and market policy on future farm organization in arable farming to be assessed. The approach is evaluated and priorities for further development are discussed.
