Abstract Integrated Pest Management (IPM) provides an illustration of how crop protection
has (or has not) evolved over the past six decades. Throughout this period, IPM has …

Crop losses from pests threaten global food security and safety. In the last six decades, pest
control using chemical pesticides has resulted in important yield gains per unit area …

Departing from the comprehensive reviews carried out in the field, we identify the key
challenges that agent-based methodology faces when modeling coupled socio-ecological …

Agent-based modeling (ABM) techniques for studying human-technical systems face two
important challenges. First, agent behavioral rules are often ad hoc, making it difficult to …

This article is a review of work published in various journals and conference proceedings on
the topics of Simulation Modelling for Sustainability between January 2000 and May 2015. A …

Food can be health-giving. A global transition towards plant-based diets may equally help
curb carbon emissions, slow land-system change and conserve finite resources. Yet …

Agent-based models are helpful to investigate complex dynamics in coupled human–natural
systems. However, model assessment, model comparison and replication are hampered to …

Policy makers in developing countries need better evidence of how changes in pesticide
regulation would affect pesticide reduction and farm incomes, but there are very few …

Management strategies to address the challenges associated with invasive species are
critical for effective conservation. An increasing variety of mathematical models offer insight …

A spatio-temporal Agent Based Modeling (ABM) framework is developed to probabilistically
predict farmers' decisions concerning their future farming practices when faced with potential …
