Objective:

The process of formulating agricultural public policies is complex due to the large number of variables involved in it. However, there is a methodology that helps the process: the development of decision support systems (DSS). This article shows the results of reviewing the developments made on implementing DSS on the formulating agricultural public policies.

Methodology:

A bibliographic review was carried out in various scientific databases by looking for implementations of SSD on the process of formulating agricultural policies. After finding out the SSD systems developed, qualitative and descriptive analyzes of the systems were carried out.

Results:

Thirty DSS systems applied to the formulation of agricultural policies were found, and the majority is focused on the agricultural production process and its relationship with the environment.

Conclusions:

When developing potential agricultural policies, there is a fundamental need to generate

DSS that determine possible future behavior of stakeholders. These DSS also need to be adjusted to the characteristics of the countries located in the tropical zone.
