      abstract = {For models to have an impact on policy-making, they need  to be used. Exploring the relationships between
policy  models, model uptake and policy dynamics is the core of  this article. What particular role
can policy models play  in the analysis and design of policies? Which factors  facilitate (inhibit) the uptake
of models by policy-makers?  What are possible pathways to further develop modelling  approaches
to better meet the challenges facing agriculture  today? In this paper, we address these issues
from three  different points of view, each of which should shed some  light on the subject. The first point
of view discusses  models in the framework of complex adaptive systems and  uncertainty. The second
point of view looks at the dynamic  interplay between policies and models using the example of  modelling
in agricultural economics. The third point of  view addresses conditions for a successful application
of  models in policy analysis.},
