“…Multi-agent-based modeling and simulation have been applied in previous studies to study and develop optimal strategies (Ghazali et al, 2018;Oudendag et al, 2014)To date, multi-agent-based modeling and simulations have been applied to several studies on the development of dairy farming with multiple applications found in smallholders with a focus on feeding, rangeland management, and adaptation to strategies and policies (Fust & Schlecht, 2018;Mack & Huber, 2017;Schilling et al, 2012). To our knowledge, this study is the first attempt to develop peer-to-peer farm practice learning for milk yield improvement for SDF using an agent-based modeling and simulation approach (Nyambo et al, 2020).…”

This study aims to determine the pattern of oil palm marketing channels, the number of costs and marketing margins obtained by each marketing agency, as well as the efficiency of oil palm marketing channels. The respondents were 34 information, consisting of 30 oil palm farmers and traders collecting oil palm FFB in Tommo District. Marketing of oil palm FFB is carried out using the snowball sampling method. The results of this study indicate that there are three marketing channels formed. Namely: Marketing channel I, namely Farmers sell directly to palm oil mills, Marketing channel II, namely sales through farmer groups then sold to palm oil mills, Marketing Channel III, namely Farmers selling to collector traders then sold to palm oil mills, highest marketing costs is in the channel I. The costs incurred in this marketing channel are transportation costs of Rp. 11.36/Kg of FFB, labor costs of Rp. 21.88/Kg of FFB, retribution costs of Rp. 7.71/Kg of FFB. Marketing Channel shows that marketing channel I is an efficient channel. With a margin value of 4.07 percent and a farmer's share of 95.92 percent, the production volume is 32.78 tons or 24.45 percent. Farmer share for the selling price of FFB is the highest farmer share because farmers directly sell their harvest to the factory.

“…Optimal resource allocation refers to the reasonable allocation of limited resources to achieve high production efficiency and a substantial increase in economic benefits. Specifically, the sustainable use of water resources was affected by economic, social and environmental aspects, and multi-objective resource optimization and balance can effectively solve water resource problems (Davijani et al, 2016;Ghazali et al, 2018). Increased investment in other resources will drive regional economic growth (He et al, 2020), play a certain role in improving the utilization efficiency of water resources, and increase scale efficiency.…”

Comprehensively improving the efficiency of water resource utilization is not only an urgent need to resolve the prominent contradiction between water supply and water demand but also an inevitable requirement to promote the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. The compulsory water resource tax is considered to be a powerful tool for resolving the worldwide water crisis and improving water resource utilization efficiency (WRUE). Based on a quasi-natural experiment of water resource tax policy in China, this study used panel data for 30 provinces (municipalities) from 2011 to 2019 to evaluate the impact of water resource tax policies on WRUE through a multistage difference-in-difference model. The results showed that the water resource policy can effectively improve the utilization efficiency of water resources by optimizing the allocation of resources. In addition, the analysis of the spatial heterogeneity showed that the policy of the water resource tax has a stronger lifting effect on improving water resource-use efficiency in Eastern China than that in the central and western regions. This research provided insights into China's water policies that can be used to better manage natural resources.

A model fusion approach was developed based on five artificial neural networks (ANNs) and MODIS products. Static and dynamic ANNsthe multi-layer perceptron (MLP) with one and two hidden layers, general regression neural network (GRNN), radial basis function (RBF) and nonlinear autoregressive network with exogenous inputs (NARX)were used to predict the monthly reservoir inflow in Mollasadra Dam, Fars Province, Iran. Leaf area index and snow cover from MODIS, and rainfall and runoff data were used to identify eight different combinations to train the models. Statistical error indices and the Borda count method were used to verify and rank the identified combinations. The best results for individual ANNs were combined with MODIS products in a fusion model. The results show that using MODIS products increased the accuracy of predictions, with the MLP with two hidden layers giving the best performance. Also, the fusion model was found to be superior to the best individual ANNs.
