Sustainable Intensification: Concept Revisited, Research Challenges, and New Methodologies from Modern Systems Science Perspective
This presentation revisits the concept of sustainable intensification from modern systems science perspectives (human-environmental system, social-ecological resilience, complex adaptive systems, transformation and ...
Soil nutrient balance, economic performance and scenarios for closing nutrient gaps in heterogeneous smallholder farm systems in south-western Burkina Faso
Sub-Saharan Africa suffers widespread nutrient mining, raising the problem of insustainable intensification. Understanding the relationship among soil nutrient balance, intensification and farm’s economic performance can ...
Agricultural livelihood systems (ALS) typology for coping with socio-ecological diversity in ALS transition research: A demonstrative case in Pontieba, south-western Burkina Faso
Smallholder farms’ populations are characterized by their heterogeneity giving the diversity of farms’ livelihood settings. Integrated farming system modelling therefore requires a preliminary clear identification of the ...
Methodological options for modelling agent’s decision-making in multi-agent system model of coupled community-landscape systems
This visual-aided manual presents the state-of-the art methodological options for modeling human decision-making in general and in multi-agent system. The options include heuristic, rational, bounded rational and hybrid ...
Program Theory of change and Impact Pathway - Last Update 2015
A theory of change (ToC) describes how a research-in-development project or program induces expected outcomes and impacts by describing the causal interrelationships from the project/program’s activities to outputs, outcomes ...
Spatially explicit assessment of nutrient demands for promoting efficient regional fertilizer-use management in Vietnam
To transition to efficient fertilizer use for promoting food production, a wide range of stakeholders need to know nutrient demands for meeting crop yield potentials over an agricultural region. Knowledge about spatial ...
Sustainable Intensification: Concept and Challenges from Systems Perspective
This presentation conceptualizes transition pathways toward sustainable Intensification of small-holder agricultural livelihood systems, the need and challenges of integrated systems models as decision support tools for ...
Socio-ecological System Models for Supporting Farm Resilience: Research Needs, Gaps and Promising Approaches
It is important to increase the resilience of food production systems in the face of a changing climate, land scarcity, and changing demographics and market conditions. As farm resilience is a high-level system property ...
