摘要: To enhance sustainability of agricultural production and food supply, insight is required in the relevant agro-ecological socio-economic processes at farm regional level. In this chapter a modelling approach presented that suitable to provide qualitative dynamics development. The used develop model Koutiala region southern Mali allows simulating development different types their interactions. It demonstrated how may help identify discontinuities when conditions change, it serve explore effects price policies on,for example, soil organic matter content.
