摘要: Abstract Management of a game ranch is an important issue as many ranches operate on meagre profits, and some even at loss, their part-time owners subsidize the from other sources income. In this paper, we address sustainable ranching problem in South African context through optimization model. To obtain faithful picture reality, model includes conflicting objective functions, takes into account fact that annual rainfall known only stochastically. An approach for solving resulting multiobjective integer linear stochastic program discussed illustrated by means numerical example Northern Cape ranch.
