ABSTRACT
This paper describes a methodology to optimize spatial allocation of multiple agricultural activities following the preferences of a decision maker. The optimization is based on an iterative method which converges to the land use with the largest probability of being the best one. An example application to a pilot area in the centre of Spain shows an outcome which matches the subvention policies, allows sustainable development and fits the social requirements of the population.
