Abstract
Systems research is needed to more effectively use information generated through reductionist approaches. One example is the need to develop integrated farm management systems that can be envisioned as a collection of agricultural management strategies that incorporate concerns of farmers, farm suppliers, environmentalists, the local community, consumers, and the general public. Our objective was to use systems engineering methods to design an integrated farm management systems research program that could ultimately develop integrated farm management plans. Systematic steps included: (i) defining the problem, (ii) identifying all factors potentially affected by any solution, (iii) developing concepts for solving the problem, and (iv) evaluating four feasible concepts by quantifying tradeoffs associated with each solution [...]
