iMAP, an integrated modelling platform for agro-economic commodity and policy analysis : new developments and policy support 2012-14

Building, maintaining and applying the integrated Modelling Platform for Agro-economic Commodity and Policy Analysis (iMAP) has been a long-term project (since 2005) at the Joint Research Centre Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (JRC-IPTS), whose aim is to deliver in-house policy support to the European Commission. iMAP is the result of collaboration with and contributions from many former and present IPTS colleagues, as well as from researchers outside IPTS. The present JRC Technical Report provides an update on published model-related policy impact analysis related to baselines, the Common Agricultural Policy, Resource and energy policies, the bioeconomy, Europe and its neighbours, and Europe's agri-food sector in the global market.
