Description
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 modelling, simulation and optimisation; 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 analysing 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.
