Building trust in continental-scale modelling in agriculture
Abstract:All models are wrong, but some are useful. This famous sentence summarises modelling in all areas; however, determining model usefulness is challenging, particularly in complex systems such as agriculture. Building trust in models means providing evidence that their uncertainties and errors are acceptable for the decision-making process. Here we explore two ways to understand model usefulness in agriculture; a data-driven one and a mechanistic one. Lastly, we provide an example of combing data-driven and mecha… Show more
