Abstract: 

This chapter discusses the concept of Integrated Tool for Economic and Ecological Modelling (ITEM) along with a case study that evaluates the current and former European Common Agricultural Policy with particular regards to the evaluation of soil- and water-related landscape services. The Integrated Tool for Economic and Ecological Modelling (ITEM) was developed to assess landscape services of different land-use options. ITEM is a network of several models addressing agro-economy, agricultural policy and environmental services with respect to soil, water, floral and faunal biodiversity. A central part of ITEM is a bio-economic simulation model that predicts economically optimal land-use distributions. Its site-specific outputs comprise land rent, land use and management information. These data form the basis for other ITEM models.
