This blog provides information about a research project to understand and model the dynamic interactions of natural and human components in agricultural ecosystems. The focus is on agricultural production systems in the Pampas of central-eastern Argentina. The Pampas are one of the major cereal and oilseed production areas of the world.
The project places special emphasis on assessing the scope for active adaptive management in response to new knowledge such as climate information and insights on human decision-making. Highlights of the project include:
- A strong focus on understanding the dynamics of human behavior and decisions in the context of a real-world complex natural/human system;
- A diverse and well-balanced team of investigators and outreach specialists from the United States and Argentina that draws equally from a range of disciplines; and
- The active involvement of farmers and operational producers of climate information who ensure the relevance of the research and stakeholders’ ownership of the process.
