    European agriculture has been characterized by a shift in structure towards larger farms withless labour employed. Within the current article we investigate the case of Flanders, a regionin Belgium, and try to define what the sectoral shifts of labour and land have been in the past.Thereby we try to analyze and quantify structural change in Flemish agriculture, and to make projections for the future. The research was based on a Markov analysis of secondary census data, complemented by primary data obtained through a survey.

    The paper analyzes the preferences of dairy farmers with respect to their work by the means of a Discrete Choice experiment, which was carried out in the Eastern part of Switzerland. 304 dairy farmers, who intend to produce milk beyond the abolishment of the milk quota in 2009, were asked to choose between the status quo and alternatives consisting of several combinations with four attributes. The latter comprise work content, terms of employment, holiday per year and income per year. Using a probit model, the willingness to pay/accept is calculated.

    This paper proposes and applies an innovative estimation approach for farm group programming models using Generalised Maximum Entropy. The proposed set-up simultaneously determines calibrating cost function parameters and input allocations to production activities. The methodology is applied to Belgium FADN data of arable farms for which available input allocations allow to validate the estimation approach. Results outperform separate estimates of input allocations previously applied in the literature and this finding is robust with respect to support point design.

    This study identifies the effects of the 1992 and subsequent CAP reforms on arable farmland price in Belgium. We first propose a brief literature review of studies identifying the determinants of farmland price. Afterwards, we use a panel data set to estimate a capitalization model of farmland price. We first show that the compensatory payments introduce by the 1992 CAP reform exert a positive effect on the arable farmland price in Belgium.

    Agriculture is required to fulfil the needs and wants of society in a variety of fields: foodsupply, environmental services, landscape preservation and finally: climate mitigation.Using the example of land-use change in peatland in order to create possibilities forgreenhouse-gas reduction, a survey about the intentions and future expectations of stakeholderswas undertaken.

    To assess the impact of climate change on agriculture in German districts, a Ricardian analysis accounting for spatial autocorrelation is used. The analysis relies on land rental prices from agricultural statistics and climate data from the network of German weather observation stations. The results of the cross-sectional analysis show a significant correlation between land rents and increasing mean temperatures, as well as (except for East Germany) a significant increase of land rents along with declining spring precipitation.

    The impact of sectoral or economy wide policy scenarios is often of strong political and public interest, yet it is a scientific challenge. When analyzing different levels of aggregation, the use ofsingle models may not be sufficient. In this paper we establish an interface between the European Simulation Model (ESIM) and the Farm Modelling Information System (FARMIS). The linkage of the two models allows us to quantify adjustment processes both at the sectoral level and at the farm group level for the German agricultural sector.

    Our study examines the potentialdevelopments of cultural landscapes, taking intoconsideration various economic and socialconditions (scenarios). The study takes place inthree project regions which represent typicallandscapes in Southern Germany and Austria. Ineach project area, the influence of a changingeconomic and political framework is analysed. Thefollowing scenarios are defined: (1) status quo(current economic and agri-political framework);(2) high-producer prices and constant (or evenincreasing) direct payments; and (3) low-producerprices and no (or very low) direct payments.
