agsy-systems-framing-and-modeling

Use when framing the system and describing the model for an Agricultural Systems (AgSy) manuscript — defining system boundaries, components, hierarchical levels, and feedbacks, then choosing, describing, and calibrating the model (process/simulation, whole-farm, bio-economic, agent-based, or integrated assessment). This is the distinctive core of an AgSy paper. Structures the model and system; it does not run code for you.

# Systems Framing & Modelling (agsy-systems-framing-and-modeling)

This is the **distinctive core** of an Agricultural Systems paper. AgSy expects an explicit **system**
(boundaries, components, hierarchical levels, feedbacks) and a model that is **described, justified, and
calibrated** — not a black box. Frame the system first, then make the model reproducible enough that a
reader could re-implement it.

## When to trigger

- Defining the system boundary, components, and what counts as inside vs. outside
- Choosing a modelling approach and justifying it against alternatives
- Writing the model-description (methods) section
- A reviewer asked "what is the system?", "why this model?", or "how was it calibrated?"
