An Integrated Risk Sensitive Crop Allocation Model with Pollination Intelligence Algorithm

Abstract

A risk sensitive model for allocation of crops is considered in this work. The constructed model was designed to help farmers decision making process, thereby maximizing the use of agricultural land. Market price, cost of cultivation, yield of crops and climatic conditions were factors considered in the models. The theory of chance constraint programing was used to handle uncertainties that arise in crop planing. Data of known yield of crops were harvested and analyzed with the help of statistical tools.A class of Pollination Intelligence Algorithm was adopted to solve the model.
