with coll. of Maurizio Canavari, Guido Bazzani, Remo Malagnino, Claudio Signorotti, Sergio Albertazzi, Concetta Cardillo, Maddalena Ragona
Motivation to the study
Obtain a Farm Decision Support System to be used for optimising arable land cropping schemes by mean of a yearly description of farm activities and a set descriptive variables useful for environmental issues
MANUAL of ver.2
Technology
Farm is described within a Mathematical Programming viepoint and an optimal asset is obytained by an optimisation process based on a Linear Programming scheme. Code has been developed in GAMS and Technical Coefficients are greatly based on data collected by Italian Farm Accountancy data-set.
Products available
The model is fully available under a collaboration framework / project
Strengths and Limits
MAD can be used in every FADN compliant context. Not all the holding can be represented nor the structure and activity have the time-granularity required to represent a real farm management.
Acknoledgments
The project has been carried on as a spinoff of BIOSUS project (2010-2013) cohordinated by M.Canavari-UniBo
