      abstract = {This paper focuses on non-linear programming models and  their suitability for ex-ante evaluations  of
agri-environmental policies on sector level. An approach  is presented to compare organic farming
payments as a  multi-objective policy, with other, more targeted  agri-environmental policies in
Switzerland. The Swiss  version of the comparative static sector-consistent farm  group model FARMIS
is able to group the sector’s farms into  organic and non-organic farms and optimise them  separately.
CH-FARMIS is expanded with three modules  particularly for this study: a) allowing for the  simulation
of uptake; b) integrating life cycle assessment  data for energy use, eutrophication and biodiversity;
and  c) estimating the policy and farm-group-specific public  expenditure, including transaction costs.
This paper  illustrates the functions of the model, shows preliminary  energy use calculations for the
German Agricultural Sector  and discusses the advantages and limitations of the  approach.},
