Abstract

Optimal land allocation plays a vital role for the development of agriculture sector. Development toward optimal utilization of land under cultivation and increasing the production of crops and profit with less fertilizer consumption must be taken into consideration in agriculture planning. In this paper, a weighted additive model is formulated with net profit, production of crops, and fertilizer consumption as objectives and availability of cultivable land, agriculture labour, agriculture machinery, and water as constraints for optimal land allocation. Weighted additive model takes care of relative priority of objectives laid by the agriculture planners. To illustrate the model, a case study of Visakhapatnam district, Andhra Pradesh, India is presented. The results of GA approach are compared with LINGO solver and observed that there is an improvement in the utilization of land.
