Investigating the Effect of Membership in the Agricultural Production Cooperatives Regarding Cropping Pattern Sustainability

This study determined the optimum model using linear programming model (single objective) and planning Lexico and CGP (multi-objective) and discussed the optimum model by using the method of choice in normal use genetic algorithms. Information required through a questionnaire which were completed by 270 (down villages provinces) farmers in the Torbat-e Heydarieh Township. A two-stage cluster sampling was executed. The results of comparing changes in the land acreage of farmers, agricultural cooperatives can be inferred members and non-member farmers' cooperatives in agriculture, generally lower than cropping pattern changes are sustainable, Therefore, it can be concluded that membership in agricultural cooperatives due to the cropping pattern with the objective of sustainable agriculture cropping pattern and water efficiency is appropriate in order to extend and expand the facility to recruit farmers to non-agricultural cooperatives was recommended.
