What is management shapes the system?Show answer
The manager is the controller of the system. Decisions about enterprise mix (a monoculture versus a crop and pasture rotation), input level, timing and technology all reshape inputs, processes and interactions. For example, switching a continuous-wheat paddock to a wheat, canola and legume rotation changes the biological inputs, breaks disease and weed cycles in the processes, and lifts the sustainability of the output by fixing nitrogen and improving soil structure. A decision to adopt controlled-traffic farming changes the machinery input and the cultivation process, reducing compaction and fuel use.
