Abstract

An aggregate mathematical model for country-wide agricultural production is proposed. It allows analyzing various scenarios of crop and livestock production in terms of food security. We developed a mathematical model of agricultural holdings, taking into account weather and economic risks. The model incorporates various factors such as crop insurance, credit terms, and uncertain prices for agricultural products.
