This chapter discusses various bioeconomic modelling approaches and methods that can be used to simultaneously evaluate the economic and environmental (sustainability) impacts of natural resource management technologies and policies (in agriculture) in the rural areas of developing countries. A...

This chapter illustrates how a multiperiod bioeconomic household-level model, in which changes in resource quality have feedback effects on future land productivity, can be used to explore the economic and environmental impacts of natural resource management technologies and policies. This model is ...

This chapter synthesizes the conceptual, methodological and empirical issues for evaluating the impacts of natural resource management (NRM) technology and policy interventions. It offers insights on key lessons, policy conclusions, knowledge gaps, and areas that need further research.

This paper develops the "follow-the-technology" (FTT) approach to catalysing, managing, and evaluating rural technology change as a framework that both "hard" and "soft" scientists can work with. To deal with complexity, integrated natural resource management (INRM) needs ways of working that are...

This chapter addresses methodological and empirical complexities in assessing the economic and environmental impacts of crop and resource management research through a case study of groundnut production technology (GNPT) in central India. The GNPT package is described. Data was collected from 355...
