Agricultural Systems is an international journal that deals with interactions - among the components of agricultural systems,
among hierarchical levels of agricultural systems, between agricultural and other land use systems, and between agricultural systems
and their natural and social environments. In particular, its aim is to encourage integration of knowledge among those disciplines that
underpin agriculture. Many contributions will therefore be multi- or inter-disciplinary. Papers generally focus on either methodological
approaches to understanding and managing interactions within or among agricultural systems, or the application of holistic or quantitative
systems approaches to a range of problems within agricultural systems and their interactions with other systems. Because of the nature
of the readership of Agricultural Systems, the contents of papers should be easily accessible (properly introduced, presented and discussed)
to readers from a wide range of disciplines.
The scope includes the development and application of systems methodology, including
system modeling, simulation and optimization; ecoregional analysis of agriculture and land use; studies on natural resource issues related
to agriculture; impact and scenario analyses related to topics such as GMOs, multifunctional land use and global change; and the development
and application of decision and discussion support systems; approaches to analyzing and improving farming systems; technology transfer
in tropical and temperate agriculture; and the relationship between agricultural development issues and policy.
The journal
publishes original scientific papers, short communications, review articles and book reviews. Review articles and book reviews should
only be submitted after consultation or invitation from either an Editor or the Book Review Editor, respectively.
