Principles of Systems
TL;DR: The feedback mechanism involved in all principles for artificial learning refers back to the notion of the control-circuit, which serves as a basis for the analysis and the design of feedback-control systems.

TL;DR: This paper provides an overview of the eight main global and regional scale agricultural monitoring systems currently in operation and compares them based on the input data and models used, the outputs produced and other characteristics such as the role of the analyst, their interaction with other systems and the geographical scale at which they operate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introducing digital twins to agriculture
TL;DR: The extent of digital twin adoption in agriculture is examined, light is shed on the concept and the benefits it brings, and an application-based roadmap for a more extended adoption is proposed.

The parallel system for integrating impact models and sectors (pSIMS)
Joshua Elliott,David Kelly,James P. Chryssanthacopoulos,Michael Glotter,Kanika Jhunjhnuwala,Neil Best,Michael Wilde,Ian Foster +7 more
TL;DR: The pSIMS design and use example assessments to demonstrate its multi-model, multi-scale, and multi-sector versatility and to assess the efficiency gain attained.

Identifying key entry-points for strategic management of smallholder farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa using the dynamic farm-scale simulation model NUANCES-FARMSIM
Mark T. van Wijk,Pablo Tittonell,Mariana C. Rufino,Mario Herrero,Cesare Pacini,Nico de Ridder,Ken E. Giller +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated crop-livestock model called NUANCES-FARMSIM (FARM SIMulator) was used to analyse a representative case study farm in the highlands of Western Kenya, a site for which each of the components of FARMSIM has been thoroughly tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bio-economic evaluation of dairy farm management scenarios using integrated simulation and multiple-criteria models
TL;DR: The effects and implications of different management scenarios and policies on the bio-economic performance of highland dairy farms in Costa Rica are discussed and the effect of model formulation and sensitivity, different decision-maker objectives, and/or activity or constraint definitions on management strategy selection are analysed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of vegetation on the local climate and hydrology in the tropics: sensitivity to soil parameters
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of vegetation on the local climate in the tropics was investigated, and it was shown that vegetation has a significant moderating effect on the climate throughout the tropICS by cooling the surface through enhanced latent heat fluxes.

An Interregional Activity Analysis Model for the Agricultural Sector
T. Takayama,George G. Judge +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an activity analysis equilibrium model for the agricultural sector was proposed to account for the competitive pricing and allocation of primary, intermediate, and final commodities in space, where the concept of maximizing net consumer surplus was employed as a basis for deducing the price and allocation equilibrium conditions.
