AGRICULTURAL MANAGEMENT USING THE ADELAIS MULTIOBJECTIVE LINEAR-PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE - A CASE APPLICATION

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.
