ABSTRACT

The POMMARD model described in Chapter 5 enables the simulation of many different market and policy conditions, such as the scenarios explained in Chapter 6. This chapter shows the capability of the model indicating the effects of market and policy changes in the 11 study regions of the TOP-MARD project, described in Chapters 7 to 12. These regions exhibit a variety of geographical, economic and social characteristics, as well as being of different area and/or population sizes. However, in applying POMMARD, and in adapting the EU-level scenarios to regional circumstances where appropriate, the direction, extent and durability of impacts can be analysed and compared.
