User-friendly and Integrated Simulation Tool for Support Sustainable Land Management Planning in Tunisian Landscape. Working paper (accepted for the Springer Nature
Sustainable land management (SLM) at scale is essential for achieving land degradation neutrality and improving agricultural livelihoods. In practice, promoting SLM at watershed scale faces many decision-making problems ...
Assessing Soil Erosion Hazards Using Land-Use Change and Rill Erosion Frequency Ratio Method: Case Study of Rmel Watershed, Northern Tunisia
This study aims to identify the vulnerable landscape areas using rill erosion frequency ratio and land-use change associated soil erosion hazard by employing geo-informatics techniques and the revised universal soil loss ...
How to keep it adequate: A protocol for ensuring validity in agent-based simulation
There has so far been no shared understanding of validity in agent-based simulation. We here conceptualise validation as systematically substantiating the premises on which conclusions from simulation analysis for a ...
Provisional analytical procedures for mapping MFS, their socio-ecological context, and system performance
A methodological approach for mapping mixed farming systems (MFS) and typologies at national and sub-national levels is proposed and described, with concrete system-based analytical pathway and suggested data sources. The ...
MASSAI: Multi-agent system for simulating sustainable agricultural intensification of smallholder farms in Africa
The research and development needed to achieve sustainability of African smallholder agricultural and natural systems has led to a wide array of theoretical frameworks for conceptualising socioecological processes and ...
Geoinformatics Options by Contexts for Sustainable Livestock Management (GeOC4SLiM) - An User Manual with Focus on Interfaces and Operational Functions
Sustainable Livestock Management (SLiM) are required to interrelated UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on poverty alleviation, achieved food security, improved nutrition, promoted sustainable agriculture and land ...
The role of responsive heterogeneity in sub-Saharan smallholder farming sustainability: socio-economic and biophysical determinants of mineral and organic fertilizers used in South Western Burkina Faso
Sustainable soil nutrient management (SNM) is important for improving soil resources and food security in sub-Saharan African countries. Inherent livelihood diversity may lead to differences in household behavior in the ...
Agricultural Livelihood Types and Type-Specific Drivers of Crop Production Diversification: Evidence from Aral Sea Basin Region
Understanding the factors driving the farmers’ decisions to diversify their crop production is important for management strategies and policies promoting climate-smart agricultural development. Options for diversification ...
How to Keep it Adequate: A Validation Protocol for Agent-Based Simulation
Agent-based models are used in a huge diversity of contexts, which complicates the establishment of a shared understanding of model validity and adequate methods for model construction, inference and validation. Starting ...
Report on the Workshop for Consolidating Curriculum of the New Master-level Subject Titled “Integrated Methods for Analysis and Assessment of Agricultural Livelihood Systems Toward Sustainability”
This report recaps and overviews the result of the participatory consolidation of the Curriculum of the New Master-level Subject Titled “Integrated Methods for Analysis and Assessment of Agricultural Livelihood Systems ...
