Agricultural management using the ADELAIS multiobjective linear programming software: A case application

Abstract

This paper presents an application of the ADELAIS multiobjective linear programming software to farm planning problems in agricultural management. This application is illustrated on a Spanish farm case study initially presented by Romero, Amador and Barco as an application of compromise programming. The method employed here generates a sequence of efficient solutions using interactive utility assessment and satisfaction levels. A compromise solution among three conflicting objectives, i.e. seasonal labor, employment and business profitability, is finally obtained.

“…The challenge for major grain producing areas is to formulate complex, spatially and temporally interdependent strategy of agricultural production restructure to achieve multiple, noncommensurable and frequently conflicting goals (e.g., eco-social benefit maximization, food security, employment stability, and ecosystem balance). Despotis and Siskos [10]; Fang and Meng [11]; Huang et al [12]. Currently, the agricultural production structure in major grain producing areas is still irrational and unbalanced.…”
