Abstract
Traditional farming practices often prioritized immediate yield gains without consideration of long-term environmental consequences, such as soil degradation and loss of biodiversity.
The proposed mathematical programming location models for ecological agriculture aim to optimize land use, enhance ecosystem services, and improve overall sustainability. This presentation examines point and line location models that support decision-making in ecological management. These models promote biodiversity without compromising the productivity of agricultural operations.
Specifically, the models focus on the optimal allocation of nesting aids for alternative pollinators and the strategic placement of biobelts, with the goal of fostering biodiversity while minimizing losses in agricultural production.
By utilizing mathematical programming and optimization techniques, these approaches provide structured, data-driven solutions that enhance agricultural sustainability. They balance the economic output of farming businesses with the principles of environmental stewardship.
