The architecture of ecology: Systems design for sustainable agricultural landscapes

Abstract Details

2013, Bachelor of Science (BS), Ohio University, Environmental and Plant Biology.
Agricultural sustainability will prove to be a significant challenge in the coming decades. The complexity of the problem of agricultural sustainability makes the creation of policy and design solutions difficult. Using Complex Adaptive Systems theory, I propose a method for understanding this complexity and multi-dimensionality through the construction of a theoretical model of agriculture. Using this model, I explore possible futures of the agricultural system through scenario building. I then use this model and these future scenarios to derive implications for sustainable agricultural design.
