TL;DR: There is considerable scope to improve diversity in representation of decision-making and the integration of social interactions in agricultural agent-based modelling approaches by combining existing modelling approaches and promoting model inter-comparisons.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential beneficial and adverse effects of climate insurance in agriculture, particularly where programs target intensifying agricultural production, are discussed and some preliminary principles for avoiding maladaptive outcomes, including specific recommendations for designing appropriate impact studies and insurance programs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use a spatial simulation model to assess impacts of changing precipitation regimes, and to identify limits of tolerance for these changes beyond which pastoral livelihoods cannot be secured.

TL;DR: A minimum standard of model description is suggested for good modelling practice, namely the provision of source code and an accessible natural language description, and a classification for structuring types of model descriptions is suggested.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed four principles for integrated CB- and Eco-DRR that address these challenges: (1) governance and institutional arrangements that fit local needs; (2) empowerment and capacity-building to strengthen community resilience; (3) discovery and sharing of constructive practices that combine local and scientific knowledge; and (4) approaches focused on well-being and equity.
