         Problem Statement (1/3)
  Despite  the  significant  role  agriculture  plays  in  the  battle  against 
  poverty  and  famine,  particularly  in  developing  countries,  the  sector 
  remains however one of the greatest challenge to the preservation of 
  our environment.
  Indeed, agricultural sector is one of the greatest contributor to climate 
  change due to bad practices applied for food production.
         Problem Statement (2/3)
  Further, no other sector has the potential to contribute so directly to the 
  aspirations  of  UNFCCC  goals  which  aim  to  stabilize  GHG 
  concentrations in the atmosphere while ensuring that food production 
  is not threatened and enables economic development to proceed in a 
  sustainable manner.
  Promoting a sustainable agriculture may be required to reach this goal, 
  but  there  is  a  need  to  identify  strategies  and  policies  that  may 
  contribute  to  develop  a  sustainable  agriculture,  especially  in 
  developing regions.
         Problem Statement (3/3)
  Thus, the fundamental research question is expressed as follow: what 
  is the impact of green policies on farmers’ choices in the context of 
  developing a sustainable agriculture?
  Specifically, how is cropland allocated among farmers?
  Do sustainable policies incite farmers to adopt green practices?
  What are the benefits associated to each policy implemented?
             Objectives
  The main objective of the study is to analyze cropland allocation in the 
  context of alternative policies implementation.
  Specifically, the study seeks to:
  Analyze cropland allocation for alternative cropping systems,
  Assess the potential impact of sustainable policies on land allocation,
 - Evaluate the benefit associated to each policy implemented.
