Systems approaches for agricultural development are needed to
determine rational strategies for the role of agriculture in
national development. Mathematical models and computer simulation
provide objective tools for applying science to determine and
evaluate options for resource management at field, farm and
regional scales. However, these tools would not be fully utilizable
without incorporating social and economic dimensions into their
application. The second international symposium, Systems Approaches
for Agricultural Development, held in Los BaAos, 6-8 December 1995,
fostered this link between the bio-physical sciences and the social
sciences in the choice of keynote papers and oral presentations, a
selection of which is included in this book. The book's contents
further reflect how systems approaches have definitely moved beyond
the research mode into the application mode. The large number and
high quality of interdisciplinary research projects reported from
different parts of the globe, to determine land use options that
will meet multiple goals and yet sustain natural resource bases, is
a key indicator of this coming of age'. At the farm level, where
trade-off decisions between processes and products (commodities)
feature strongly, much progress is also evident in the development
of systems-based tools for decision making. This book will be of
particular interest to all agricultural scientists and planners, as
well as students interested in multidisciplinary and holistic
approaches for agricultural development.
