ABSTRACT: The theme of agriculture as
system though it is commonly understood is an innovative area of research and
erudition. It involves both a technical meaning of system and cybernetic as
these arise in respect of their epistemological meaning of unity of knowledge
in highly complementary orders; as well as some of the wellbeing implications
are studied in methodological way within the substantive context of system and
cybernetic. The result then is a scientific, technical, and social development
of the theme of agriculture as system for the common human good. Within this
meaningful connotation, the economics of agriculture is invoked. This area is
further extended to the broader field of ecology, resource, and environment inter-causal
linkages within and between them. The treatment of agriculture as system and
cybernetic study then leads into methodological and mathematical formalism that
can be formulated as a model of evaluation of wellbeing subject to simulacra of
multidimensional variable interrelationship. With data searched by the
researchers in further studies in this area of agriculture system, the
wellbeing simulation subject to circular causation between the multidimensional
variables can be empirically evaluated using sophisticated statistical
programs. Resulting policy and inter-system results can be analyzed to derive
socioeconomic inferences. A plethora of further technical studies with the
methodological features of system and cybernetic study can be derived.
