This project contains the code of an agent-based model used to analyze varietal agricultural diversity in traditional agro-ecosystems. It is the result of my master's degree in Complex Systems Modeling at Universidade de São Paulo (USP).
The master's dissertation (in Portuguese) is available at this link.
To run the model, run the executable src/agrobiodiversity_model.out and the desired mode:
- 's' for a standard run with default parameters
- 'p' for plotting model's state of one execution of the model
- 'v' for a compared run varying the specified parameter with specified values
- 'f' for generating the model's final states under a variation of the specified parameter variation
- 'd' for generating a phase diagram varying two specified parameters
For example, run ./agrobiodiversity_model.out s to execute the standard run or ./agrobiodiversity_model.out v V 5 10 25 50 100 to execute the model with the initial number of varieties in the community (V) assuming the values of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100. The result will be saved in the src/test folder (if the file does not exist you need to create it) in the csv format.
Julia and the packages Gadfly and DataFrames are required for plotting the results. Run the julia console in the src folder, then run include("plot.jl") to include the plot file and finally run plotAll to plot all the csv files in the src/test folder.
This setup was only tested on Linux operating system and requires GCC compiler. To compile the code run the makefile with make. The output will be a agrobiodiversity_model.out in the root of the project.
