Title: | Sustainable cropping pattern in North Iran: application of fuzzy goal programming | Authors: | Joolaie, Ramtin Sarvestani, Ahmad Abedi Taheri, Fatemeh VAN PASSEL, Steven AZADI, Hossein |
Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | SPRINGER | Source: | Environment, development and sustainability, 19(6), p. 2199-2216 | Abstract: | Due to the important role that the application of mathematical programming models have in determining optimal cropping patterns, this research presents a sustainable cropping pattern that considers selected economic, environmental, and social goals together. Using a random sampling method, a sample size of 168 farmers was selected in the Sari County, Iran. Our results showed that economic, self-sufficiency, environmental, and social goals have a distinctly different impact on cropping pattern performance. Compared to the current cropping pattern, the gross margins for economic and social goals increased by nearly 11 and 2 %, respectively, and the gross margins for self-sufficiency and environmental goals decreased by nearly 2 and 36 %. Interestingly, it has been found that the performance of the current cropping pattern has an average positive impact of 6 % if economic, self-sufficiency, environmental, and social (employment) goals are realized simultaneously. | Notes: | [Joolaie, Ramtin] Gorgan Univ Agr Sci & Nat Resources, Dept Agr Econ, Gorgan, Iran.
