Agricultural Optimal Cropping Pattern Determination Based on Fuzzy System

Fuzzy Systems provide a framework for integrating database management systems and fuzzy logic in order to improve the decision-making process. In this study, fuzzy system was used for achieving the best cropping pattern in Agriculture. It is crucial to Integrate ecological principles with economic principles to determine optimum models. Four main objectives defined: maximization of net income of farmers, minimizing the amount of water used in agriculture, minimizing the use of chemical fertilizers and chemical pesticides. Different scenarios were defined: single-objective scenarios, double-objective scenarios, triple-objective scenarios and quadruple-objective scenarios. Finally, four proposed cropping patterns in agricultural and horticultural sectors are evaluated. The results clearly demonstrated that the current cropping pattern needed to be changed, the proposed cropping patterns has put ecological and economic principles both in a maximum optimized level together which is due to the use of the fuzzy system.
