ManPrAs is a tool for
Agricultural Management Practices Assessment set up within
DESERTLINKS project. The objective is to suggest a method, based
on the indicators list in DIS4ME, to assess the sustainability of
agricultural practices through its soil conservation index (SCI)
and economic results (Gross Margin-GM), and to simulate the impact
on soil degradation, farm profitability and socio-economic features
of alternative crops in a specific context. The tool is strongly
user-orientated, and allows assessment of the environmental and
economic aspects of agricultural practice, giving a powerful simulation
tool to farmers and stakeholders involved in land management.
