Kookana, CSIRO, Australia1 Introduction2 Characteristics of models and the system3 Integrated environmental impact modelling approaches4 Modelling impacts of cultivation on components of the environment5 Modelling causal processes6 Conclusions and research directions7 Where to look for further information8 ReferencesMost people involved in the production, use and consumption of agricultural products, including palm oil, are interested in reducing or eliminating adverse environmental impacts of cultivation while maintaining or improving productivity. To do that we need to know what the impacts are, and predict how they will respond to changes in land use and management. Environmental impacts occur through movement and transformations of energy and materials. In an ideal world, we might monitor all these processes, but that is simply not feasible. We therefore need to estimate them, and this involves models. Book Name: Achieving sustainable cultivation of oil palm Volume 2
