EU Projects

Currently CREAM are involved in two EU Framework XI projects:

• SEAMLESS is a European Union funded project that aims to develop an integrated framework for assessing the impact of policy and environmental change in agriculture and agroforestry, through the integration of approaches from the economic, environmental and social sciences. It will produce a suite of tools which can be used by analysts and decision makers for exploring alternative policy options.  CREAM are leading on development of economic indicators for the project.
• ITAES is the acronym of "Integrated Tools to design and implement Agro Environmental Schemes". ITAES has two main objectives (1) The construction of an integrated tool to analyse the interaction between the institutional process and the environmental outcome. (2) The construction of an integrated tool to analyse and simulate farmers' environmental supply depending on a range of different governance mechanisms. CREAM are leading the consideration of the development of governance attributes for agro-environmental schemes and undertaking work on the UK case study.
