Abstract

Sustainable agriculture, among other things, implies encouraging a diverse and decentralized system of family farms rather than corporate concentration. The challenge is to find a way to organize coalitions improving the food system. The case study that inspired this work originates from Istria, a Croatian region with 25 olive oil producers and about 5,000 mostly small farmers growing and harvesting olives. To account for all the objectives of the agri-food supply chain participants, this work aims to set up a model for its integrated optimization, give its mathematical formulation and suggest a method for solving the problem.
