Practical points for the software development of an agent-based model of a coupled human-natural system
The paper provides practical software engineering guidance for developing agent-based models of coupled human-natural systems, using a model of agricultural production in the Argentine Pampas as a case study. It covers design elements such as model classes, activity diagrams, data flow, package layout, design patterns, performance optimization, and the processes for model measurement, validation, and verification.

From climate knowledge to action Towards usable climate science: Informing decisions and provision of climate services to the agriculture and water sectors of southeastern South America
The project 'Towards usable climate science' established an interdisciplinary network to provide climate services for sectors sensitive to climate, such as energy, water, agriculture, and health. It developed a consolidated database of meteorological records from 329 weather stations across southern South America, covering the period from 1961 to the present. Key outputs include a regional drought monitoring system with a focus on soil moisture and yield prediction software for soybean, maize, and wheat. In the Argentine Pampas region, the project achieved accurate yield predictions for 14 localities by linking the database with simulation models, providing data useful for estimating insurance indices.
