Abstract
This article proposes a proactive approach for analyzing agricultural adaptation to climate change wherein agricultural production technologies are regarded as potential targets of research and development (R&D) efforts.We develop a structural land-use model wherein farmers maximize profit by allocating their landamongcrop-technology bundles. ProactiveR&Ddirections are derived by identifying the technological attributes through which climate change reduces overall agricultural profitability, despite farmers reallocating their land into bundles.We find that in Israel, long-term losses stem from increases in crops’ input requirements and changes in the inter- and intra-annual distribution of precipitations. Therefore,we identify these vulnerable points as the main potential targets of furtherR&D efforts.
