Systems Simulation in Agriculture
Author: J. B. Dent
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401163731
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
A fast-growing interest in the concepts and application of systems research has spawned a wide and general literature over the past decade. Most disciplinary areas have been touched, but commerce, engineering and military studies have, perhaps, been best served with outstanding texts. No provision has so far been made for a general book at introductory level of direct relevance to agricultural science, technology and management. General reviews are, of course, valuable to the agricultural-systems researcher but agricultural systems, with important biological components interacting with equally vital social and economic elements, embody particular characteristics which influence the approach to their study. This book is written in the belief that the concepts as well as the technology of the systems approach have a basic role in the rational advancement of the agricultural discipline and in the improvement of efficiency in agricultural research and practice. A basic and introductory text is an essential pre requisite to this role being realised. A reiteration of basic concepts is expressed in the introductory chapter while in the final chapter particular attention is given to the general problems of integrating systems concepts in research, extension and practice. The dialogue of these chapters is necessarily brief and in some respects speculative but it is supported by appropriate bibliography. The main body of the text is concerned with the methodology of systems research; the conception, construction, implementation, validation and exploitation of computer-based simulation models of agricultural systems.

Innovation Policy for Small Farmers in the Tropics
Author: Hans Ruthenberg
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Written by the author of the classic study Farming Systems in the Tropics, this seminal work brings together ideas and materials collected during a lifetime of research on small holdings in the tropics. Focusing primarily on the impact of technical and institutional innovation on the development and economics of smallholder agriculture, the author discusses the availabilty of these innovations, the capacity of small farms to implement them, and their direct and indirect effects on farm production. This expert analysis will be invaluable for Third World policy makers, sxperts and advanced students in agricultural development, and workers in international and bilateral aid organizations.
