Abstract

Fuzzy· sets and fuzzy logic can be incorporated into multiple attribute decision making (MADM) methods as a means to integrate multidisciplinary research on complex issues and to improve the handling of mixed, noncommensurate, and ambiguous data. The fuzzy MADM approach is applied to the problem of selecting sustainable farm~ng systems.
