The Management of Agricultural and Natural Resource Systemsof these resources has become more complex as a consequence of growth of various sorts. Increases in world population and material standards of living circumscribe old notions of natural resources being virtually limitless. As Boulding (1966) has argued in ., until recently man could concentrate on

Decisions have to be made on the quality, quantity and timing of the feed input. The product return to feed input changes continuously over the life of the uni

Land Managementimality conditions derived analytically using the dynamic programming approach in Chapter 1 are applied to the decision on how much of an exhaustible resource to mine through time. The optimality conditions for mining subject to uncertainty, and for combined mining and exploration, are also consider

Forestry Management is an optimal replacement problem, similar to that encountered in livestock management. However, just as in the production of livestock for meat, there may be other management decisions taken between replacement decisions which affect final biomass at replacement. In the case of livestock productio
