The Austrian agricultural sector is very heterogeneous in natural conditions and farming systems and highly vulnerable to climate change (e.g. alpine farming). The economic assessment of climate change impacts on and adaptation measures for agriculture requires an integrated modeling approach to...

The article analyses the combined impacts of mitigation and adaptation strategies of agriculture on the economic performance in a case study region in Austria (South-Eastern Styria). With respect to mitigation the focus is on boosting the use of biomass as an energy carrier in order to...

TTRIOPOL studies the role of domestic bioenergy potentials for agriculture, the wider economy and international trade for Austria. In particular, agricultural biomass pro-duction can contribute to significant shares of energy provision in Austria. A detailed scenario is developed to explore the...
