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 ...

This manual includes 5 units of computer lab guidelines for practicing the development of an spatial explicit multi-agent system model for simulating coupled community-landscape dynamics with example real-world data to ...

Over two billion people in the developing world are malnourished and affected especially by micronutrient malnutrition. More than 47% of women and pre-school children in developing countries suffer from iron deficiency ...

This non-exhausted manual summarizes main steps in integrated systems analysis: (1) problem analysis and system boundary definition, (2) system structural analysis, (3) system functional analysis (including feedback loops ...

This presentation revisits the concept of sustainable intensification from modern systems science perspectives (human-environmental system, social-ecological resilience, complex adaptive systems, transformation and ...

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 ...

This visual-aided document illustrates how a coupled community-landscape system can be analysed for in-depth modeling research using Multi-Agent System (MAS) approach. It guides collection and integration of household-farm ...

This non-exhausted manual defines type, typology and the role of functional types of human agents in agricultural transitional research. It also lays out common methods for defining human agent's types. The key messages ...

This document introduces concept, economic principles and algorithms of bio-economic modelling for farming system research.

This non-exhausted manual provides an overview of the landscape of system modeling methods and identifies main criteria differentiating these methods. It introduces a table of comparative assessments of potentials and ...
