Book Description
Monte Carlo simulation was used to examine the on-farm economics from adoption of Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) on four representative Alberta cropping farms. Adoption of shelterbelts, buffer strips, residue management, and the addition of annual and perennial forages, field peas, and oats in crop rotations were included as BMPs that contribute positively to Ecological Goods and Service production from agriculture.
Farm-level Costs and Benefits of Beneficial Management Practices for Irrigated Crop Production Systems in Southern Alberta

Book Description
This study conducted analysis to model adoption of Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) by a representative irrigated cropping operation in southern Alberta. Three base rotations were developed that include combinations of cereals/oilseeds, dry beans, potatoes and sugar beets. Stochastic irrigation application costs, crop prices and yields were incorporated in the analysis, along with participation in public business risk management programs. Farm-level costs and benefits of BMPs, including adding alfalfa and green manure into rotations, applying cattle manure, crop residue management, and nutrient management planning, were estimated using Monte Carlo simulation and Net Present Value analysis methods. According to this study, most of the BMPs are costly to producers except for applying cattle manure and nutrient management planning BMPs. Thus, to encourage the adoption of BMPs, economic incentives may be required for the "costly" BMPs, while information programs may be used for the economically feasible BMPs.

Book Description
George Morris Centre iii An Economic Evaluation of Beneficial Management Practices in Canadian Agriculture FINAL REPORT A total of 39 models were developed (eight base models of representative farms prior to the implementation of BMPs and 31 iterations of the models after the implementation of BMPs). [...] In all cases buffer strips reduced ENR due to the higher costs for the establishment of the buffers and the lost crop production in the area of the buffer. [...] The results of the survey suggested that the greatest barriers to adoption were cost and not understanding the need for the BMP. [...] While financial assistance deals with the cost barrier, not understanding the need for the BMP or recognizing the economic viability of the practice implies that future work needs to include communication and education regarding the environmental and economic benefits of the BMPs. [...] Section 3.0 describes the methods used to determine the specific economic costs and benefits of the BMPs through the development of representative farm models for Western and Eastern Canadian farm operations.
Strengthening Agricultural Resilience in the Face of Multiple Risks

Book Description
This report explores how countries can strengthen the resilience of their agricultural sectors to multiple risks. A shifting risk landscape in agriculture – due to increasing weather variability, natural hazards, pests and diseases, and market shocks – will require public and private actors to consider the risk landscape over the long term, place a greater emphasis on what can be done ex ante to reduce risk exposure and increase preparedness, and prioritise investments that build resilience capacities both on-farm and for the sector as a whole.

Book Description
The Watershed Evaluation of Beneficial Management Practices (WEBs) project was initiated in April 2004 to assess the environmental and economic performance of selected agricultural beneficial management practices (BMPs) at seven small watersheds across Canada. This report summarizes the progress and findings of the first four years of the WEBs project, from May 2004 to August 2007.--Includes text from document.
