Abstract

The development of organic farming tailored to the actual conditions of rural areas holds significant practical importance for sustainable rural development. This paper delves into the optimal crop planting strategies under various scenarios, including different sales methods, crop functional interrelationships and uncertainties related to production and costs, market and revenue. Initially, a multi-year total profit optimization model is constructed and solved using a nested genetic algorithm. Subsequently, the Spearman correlation coefficient was used to classify replacement crops and complementary crops to explore the influence of crop functional interrelationships on planting plan and yield. Finally, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) monitoring data is incorporated to assess fluctuations in crop yield per unit area, and the Monte Carlo method is employed to simulate uncertain parameters. Statistical metrics of preselected schemes are analyzed using the TOPSIS method, with the optimal planting strategy ultimately derived by integrating growers' risk preferences.
