Zusammenfassung
Eine kurze Übersicht über den theoretischen Hintergrund, Design und methodische Probleme von Simulationsmodellen von Tierproduktionssystemen wird gegeben. Mögliche zukünftige Anwendungen als Ergänzung zu Sektormodellen im Gefolge veränderten Planungsbedarfs durch Anpassungen in der Agrarpolitik an Marktungleichgewichte werden diskutiert.
Abstract
A brief overview on the rationale, design and methodological problems of simulation models of animal production systems is given. Future applications as a complement to macro-economic sector modelling in the context of revised agricultural policies are discussed.
