文摘

We propose a modeling framework that assesses environmental and economical consequences of agricultural intensification. Agricultural interventions were evaluated using IDSS in two study sites in the Amhara region of Ethiopia. IDSS analyses indicate that a significant improvement in family incomes and nutrition can be achieved through the adoption of farming technologies such as irrigation technologies and nutrient management.
