Feed target

This activity attempts to feed the people present up to specified targets. It includes a switch to also consider the hired labour in the decisions.

A daily intake limit is defined in this activity. This will define the limit (kg) that people can eat per day. This is required to give the model an upper limit of intake and stop feeding before targets are reached.

The activity can also indicate a mass of food eaten from sources outside of the model process. This will contribute toward the daily intake limit and reduce the food stores that can be consumed.

The following parameters are used to define this activity

Metric name

This must be the same name as the corresponding Resource units converter provided for each Human food store type.

Amount from other sources

The amount of this metric provided from sources outside those provided in the Human food store.

The following components are required to use this activity

Human food store types with Converters
