Phase I of the P3 project included preliminary modeling of water balance using STELLA system dynamics modeling software to model water balance through the life cycle phases of harvesting, processing, using and regenerating healthiness. Phase II will extend ecobalance modeling to other Indicators (e.g., soil fertility and habitat quality). It will also implement the program comparing anticipated performance (modeled by STELLA) with real performance (site monitoring of Indicators) to enhance understanding of systems and decisions that produce healthy P3 relationships. Since STELLA (environmental and social) and iThink (economic) are the same software, this provides opportunity to model all three dimensions of the triple bottom line.
