Small-scale model ‘FARMDYN’
Rationale of use
The FARMDYN model is used for farm-scale analysis, simulating profit-maximizing decisions while considering farm resource constraints, available technology, and market conditions. The model generates outputs such as production quantities, input use, farm profitability, and environmental indicators (e.g., greenhouse gas emissions or nitrogen surpluses).Functioning
The tool provides a flexible and modular template to simulate different farming systems (dairy, mother cows, beef fattening, pig fattening, piglet production, arable farming, biogas plants) at single farm scale.Types of outputs
The tool provides quantitative indicators related to baseline/scenarios.Relevant CAP objective
