摘要: The way a model is designed to assist farmers in their decision-making may influence how it understood and perceived by shape interactions between users (researcher, advisor). This study compared the strengths weaknesses of three types whole farm models used researchers 18 crop-livestock Burkina Faso planning next agricultural season. Due its simplicity, static simulation tool annual stocks flows led superior changes farmers' knowledge practices. rule-based dynamic helped grasp processes but was difficult for understand due discrepancy multi-annual time step short-term horizon. optimisation stimulated more strategic discussions regarding paths improve income despite design that distant from reality. Three farmer's decision support process are assessed.The stock-flow facilitates farmer learning on operations.The helps processes.The stimulates discussion leading improved income.
