analysis correct answers a detailed examination of anything complex to understand its nature or
to determine its essential feature
reductionist correct answers a procedure of theory that reduces complex data and phenomena to
simple terms
holistic correct answers relating to or concerned with wholes or with complete systems rather
than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts
model correct answers a representation of an object, a system, or an idea in some form other than
that of the entity itself
simple system correct answers a well-defined relationship exists between an event and its
outcome
complicated system correct answers co-existence of multiple well-defined relationships between
events and outcomes
complex system correct answers co-existence of multiple relationships that are not well-defined,
linear, simple, or static
food system complexity correct answers public or private interventions in food systems to
improve outcomes often operate under the assumption that there are well defined, transparent,
and clear signals sent to all actors in the food system, but the complexity of such systems does
not always facilitate clear communication and differing actor motivations (incentives) can lead to
unintended outcomes
systems theory correct answers "Modern systems theory, bound up with computers and
equations, hides the fact that it traffics in truths known at some level by everyone. It is often
possible, therefore, to make a direct translation from systems jargon to traditional wisdom."
stock correct answers an accumulation of material or information that has built up in a system
over time
flow correct answers material or information that enters or leaves a stock over a period of time
feedback correct answers a feedback loop is a chain of connections -- actions based on the state
of a stock that flow back to and influence the stock
sustainable development correct answers development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
sustainable agriculture correct answers an integrated system of plant and animal production
practices having a site-specific application
