      abstract = {Two different methodologies are linked to determine the  effects of climate change on the Western Cape
farm sector  in South Africa. First, it uses a general circulation model  to model climate change. Second,
a sectoral mathematical  programming model is used to determine these effects on key  variables of the
farm economy. Results indicate that less  water will be available to agriculture. This will have a  negative
overall impact, with both producer and consumer  welfare decreasing. Total employment in the farm
sector  will also decrease as producers switch to extensive  farming. The total decline in welfare  falls
disproportionately on the poor.},
