application to the broad variation of farming systems inside and outside the EU.
The modular setup provides the possibilities to activate and de-activate modules
depending on regions and conditions, to consider different types of policy instru-
ments (subsidies, regulation, taxes, etc.) and to choose different methodological
approaches, that are consistent with the data availability for a specific application.
This includes different approaches concerning the representation of risk, different
calibration approaches and different representations of agricultural activities.
FSSIM targets to be applied by different types of users such as (i) researchers with
the purpose of testing different approaches; (ii) policy experts having the purpose
of making ex-ante assessment of policies; and (iii) other stakeholder groups with
the purpose to anticipate the effect of new policies.
