"By using techniques such as mathematical modeling to analyze complex situations, operations research provides the power to make more effective decisions and build more productive systems based on more complete data; consideration of all available options; careful predictions of outcomes and estimates of risk; and the latest decision tools and techniques".
This was obvious in non-intensively harvested systems that were converted into more "productive" systems, e.g., mires and wetland, or when there was some access to almost pristine locations that served as a reference, e.g., forests, mountains, coast bottoms, and mires and wetland.
Particularly in arid and semi-arid ecosystems, pastoral mobility affords a more resilient and potentially more productive livestock system and is less likely to cause land degradation than a more sedentary, year-round grazing regime (Western et al. 2009a, b; Hesse and Cavanna 2010).
Ultimately, Sznaider hopes, this expansion could help support a safer and more productive food system throughout the world.
I'm greatly encouraged by the early efforts of FDA Commissioner, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, and look forward to working with him and the agency to enable an even faster, more productive regulatory system.
According to participants, this has led to a more productive care system.
In fact, the need to earn enough income to maintain farm household consumption leads to more intensive productive systems compared to areas with a lower level of household labour involved in agriculture.
Behnke and Kerven, for example, argue in their contribution, which examines conflicting land uses of irrigated agriculture and pastoralism in the Awash Valley, that irrigated agriculture is not more productive than pastoral production systems.
