En este trabajo se presenta un marco analítico que permite investigar la utilización de los recursos tierra y agua en la zona de regadío Flumen-Monegros (Huesca). El marco analítico consiste en un modelo que incorpora información agronómica, económica y de política agraria. El modelo se ha construido utilizando técnicas de programación lineal y de simulación de cultivos. Una característica importante del modelo es la clasificación de los suelos según su capacidad productiva. En la validación del modelo se comprueba que la asignación de hectáreas resultante del modelo es similar a la asignación real. Posteriormente el modelo se utiliza para simular las consecuencias de la eliminación de las ayudas directas que reciben los agricultores. This paper presents an analytical framework to study land and water use in the Flumen-Monegros irrigated area (Huesca). The analytical framework involves a model that uses linear programming and crop simulation techniques, and combines agronomic, economic and policy information. An important feature of the model is the classification of crop acreage in various types of soils, depending on their productive potential. To validate the model, the results on cropland utilization obtained from the model have been compared with actual cropland utilization concluding that both are close. The model is then used to simulate the outcome of the elimination of the direct payments received by farmers.
