- Applies modeling in agricultural, food, and environmental
practical and theoretical research tasks. - Shows the necessity of
applying optimization methodologies. - Highlights for managers to
be familiarized with modeling practices.
This book outlines the latest trends in the use of multicriteria
analysis in agriculture by highlighting recent applications for
modeling agricultural decision-making. It introduces specific case
studies using multicriteria analysis as a method for selecting
multiattribute discrete alternatives or solving multiobjective
planning problems. The book is intended for a broad readership,
including agricultural and environmental economists, engineers and
all scientists whose work involves the management of agricultural
resources and decision-making in agriculture. The methods and
applications presented in this book cover decision-making processes
in agricultural and environmental contexts. The methodologies
described consider multiple criteria simultaneously in a wide range
of complex decision-making contexts by taking into account
multiple, conflicting criteria. Given the wide range of case
studies covered, the book offers a comprehensive guide to
decision-making in the agricultural context and beyond.

This book includes a set of papers from distinguished scholars who
critically examine economic issues relating to the relationship
between water and agriculture, with a special focus on irrigation.
Employing state of the art methodologies, they address the most
relevant issues in water policy. The volume offers a wide spectrum
of innovative approaches and original and relevant cases with a
focus on irrigated European agriculture. The topics analyzed
include qualitative and quantitative issues, water markets, demand
analysis, economic analysis, implementation of economic issues.
Designing a Transactional Environmental Support System grew from
the desire to allow citizens to exchange knowledge on local land
and animals for the purpose of learning how to increase their
sustainability in regards to biodiversity and livelihood.
Transactional Environmental Support System Design: Global Solutions
details the results of this project ranging from studies done in
small, local communities to those done in much larger national
settings. Survey results of government practices, availability of
decision support software, and community responses to data
recording are all highlighted in this emerging research.
Additionally, the book goes on to emphasize the increasing
potential for environmental decision support while directly
addressing some of the challenges that must be overcome.
Information and communication technologies (ICT) play an
increasingly important role in the socio-economic environment of
rural areas, and e-governance can empower citizens by facilitating
their access to information and participatory decision-making.
Agricultural and Environmental Informatics, Governance and
Management: Emerging Research Applications is a state-of-the-art
reference book which explores how rural policymakers and
stakeholders can use information and communication technologies to
sustainably manage agricultural and natural resources. The book
explores how ICT can support public governance and rural
decision-making, how supply chain and agricultural informatics
tools and methods can improve agricultural management, and how ICT
is especially useful for environmental, resource, and ecosystems
management and for geospatial landscape planning. The book
integrates cross-disciplinary knowledge about agricultural and
environmental applications of informatics, connecting science and
policy on a subject critical to the present and future quality of
life in rural areas.
As national and international concern over sustainable resources
becomes more prevalent, the need for decision support systems (DSS)
increases. The applicable uses of a successful system can assist in
the sustainability of resources, as well as the efficiency and
management of the agri-environment industry. Decision Support
Systems in Agriculture, Food and the Environment: Trends,
Applications and Advances presents the development of DSS for
managing agricultural and environmental systems, focusing on the
exposition of innovative methodologies, from web-mobile systems to
artificial intelligence and knowledge-based DSS, as well as their
applications in every aspect from harvest planning to international
food production and land management. This book provides an in depth
look into the growing importance of DSS in agriculture.
