Leading international agricultural system scientists present their experiences and provide guidance on how models can be used to enhance the quality of field research, transfer of research information and technology to farmers and ranchers, and decision support for agricultural management. They provide an expert review of the existing problems and possible solutions to improve future applications. In addition, Agricu ltural System Models in Field Research and Technology Transfer explore s the possible use of an international modular computer framework to i mprove current modeling procedures in an effort to develop problem-spe cific models in the future.
