Abstract: Agricultural systems vary widely in terms of scale, scope and purpose. Managers of thesereal-world systems are typically faced with a multitude of alternative management optionsand strategies, and are turning more towards simulation models in an attempt to evaluatethese and identify the optimal combination. From a modelling perspective, agriculturalsystems present a range of problems which need to be addressed, and these are outlinedwith examples. General conclusions are drawn on which of the available methodologies aremost likely to be successful for users. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1998
