Foreword The Farming Systems Design Workshop is the result of a joint effort among the American Society of Agronomy (ASA) , the European Society of Agronomy (ESA), and the International Environmental Modeling and Software Society (IEMSS). This meeting is a result of the joint efforts between ASA and ESA to promote more interaction between the agronomic societies and we are fortunate to have the interest of IEMSS as a partner in this effort on Methodologies for Integrated Analysis of Farm Production Systems in this inaugural effort. We are deeply appreciative of the offer from the University of Catania, Faculty of Agriculture, and the Società Italiana di Agronomia to provide the venue for this meeting. There is a growing interest in agricultural systems that serve multiple purposes, in the context of driving factors such as climate change, liberalization, environmental concerns, and changing agricultural institutions. Farming systems are continuously being pressured to innovate and change to meet a variety of ecosystem services. The drivers strongly affect agricultural and environmental policies, as these must support the sustainability of agricultural systems and their contribution to sustainable development in general. This places a demand on research approaches that enable analysis of current farming systems, exploration and design of alternative ones as well as new co-learning and dissemination strategies. These research approaches must provide capabilities for assessing the economic, environmental and social aspects of farming system’s evolution in different spatial and temporal contexts. Today, a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods exist, but there is a lack of integration in evaluating issues which range from strictly technical to social, and to landscape related attributes. Our for this symposium are to: 1) Provide an opportunity to integrate knowledge across disciplines targeted at farming system analysis, design and innovation; 2) Compare approaches being used/developed in different research groups; and 3) Identify the available operational tools and the future research needs. We hope to integrate across biophysical and social domains using quantitative and qualitative approaches from the developed and developing world because we believe there are valuable lessons to be gained from many different perspectives. Farm-regional scale design and improvement, involves considerations operating at whole farm scale, such as trade-offs between economic, environmental and social aspects of farm operation; interactions with policy, community, landscape, and markets; action research and participatory methods; adapting to climate change; crop-livestock integration. Field-Farm scale design and improvement involves issues operating at field scale, such as optimising production systems, novel systems, production system sustainability and externalities, tools, participatory research. These will be discussed through plenary, oral, and poster sessions cov erring each of the topics shown in the program. This effort would not be possible without the dedication and enthusiasm provided by the Scientific Committee. We are indebted to the following individuals for their service on the Scientific Committee. • John Antle, Montana State University Bozeman, USA • James Ascough, ARS Fort Collins, USA • Salvatore Cosentino, University of Catania, Italy • Olaf Christen, University of Halle-Wittenberg, Germany • Marcello Donatelli , CRA-ISCI, Italy • Carlo Giupponi, University of Milan, Italy • Jonathan (Jon) Hanson, USDA-ARS-NGPRL, USA • Graeme Hammer, University of Brisbane, Australia • Jerry Hatfield, USDA-ARS-NSTL, USA • Thomas Heckelei, Bonn University, Germany • Brian Keating, CSIRO, Queensland, Australia • Hans Langeveld, Wageningen University, The Netherlands I
