Abstract In the current century, sustainable production of agricultural products is one main challenges facing humanity. The amount water consumption, energy, and net income as important components sustainability systems special priority importance. This study used linear multi-objective programming models with aim maximizing five indicators cost efficiency (CE), irrigation (IE), energy product...

Water resources sustainability is one of the major issues in the agricultural sustainability. In this study sustainability of water resources has been investigated by use of linear and non-linear models in six models based on optimal utilization of water resources in the north parts farms of Iran because of incorrect use of agricultural water resources, from 2011 to 2012. Also “gross margin per...
