Silvopastoral and agroforestry systems: An integer linear programming model for investment decisions

Since the countryside is one of main drivers global economy, it vital to support its technological development. When a potential investor contemplates agribusiness investments, several alternatives are presented him, including forestry, livestock raising, and silvopastoralism, which consists integrating both activities into single agroforestry system. In this paper, we address problem designing portfolio investments that maximizes economic results. order do so, developed an integer linear programming model, selects optimal combination three aforementioned for zoned field. This model was created from national perspective, considering elements specific Uruguayan reality. Additionally, produced implementation utilizing cutting-edge software such as AMPL CPLEX. solution empirically validated using battery 56 test cases, based on actual data gathered multiple sources.
