FarmSim: an integrated crop – livestock model developed to analyse African smallholder farm systems Africa Model, version 1.1 (R-version 3.0.0 or higher) 30.09.2014 Pablo Tittonell, Mariana Rufino, Mark van Wijk.

FARMSIM consists of a crop-soil (FIELD), a livestock (LIVSIM) and a manure (HEAPSIM) module that are functionally integrated to allow capturing feedbacks between these identities at farm scale, as affected by farmers’ management decisions.

Field Africa Model version 1.1 (R 3.0.0 or higher) 15.04.2014 Pablo Tittonell, Mariana Rufino, Mark van Wijk

FIELD simulates long-term changes in soil fertility (C, N, P and K), interactions between nutrients that determine crop production, and crop responses to management interventions such as mineral fertiliser and/or manure applications. Different fields within a farm represent combinations of crop types and sets of soil properties.
