Intensification, diversification, optimizing scarce resources,  integrated pest management, sustainability and climate change are key  issues for agricultural institutes. The best solutions will be found  by integrating disciplines. Organized thinking about future farming  requires forecasting of the implications of alternative ways to farm  and to develop agriculture. Systems thinking and systems simulation  are indispensable tools for such integration and extrapolation.  About 150 scientists and senior research leaders from all over the  world participated in the symposium `Systems Approaches for  Agricultural Development' to discuss these issues. The symposium  reviewed the status of systems research and modeling in agriculture,  with special reference to evaluating their efficacy and efficiency for  achieving research goals, and to their application in developing  countries, promoted international cooperation in modeling, and  increased awareness of systems research and simulation. \u003cbr\u003e  This book comprises the papers on the technical subjects. Well  informed authors describe and illustrate how systems research was used  to improve agricultural production systems of all continents and in  diverse environments. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792318804\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2840-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 543\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311981449356,"sku":"9780792318804","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792318804.jpg?v=1771515598","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792318804","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
