Abstract
Sustainable agriculture, among other things, implies encouraging a diverse and decentralized system of
family farms rather than corporate concentration. Th e challenge is to fi nd a way to organize coalitions
improving the food system. Th e case study that inspired this work originates from Istria, a Croatian region
with 25 olive oil producers and about 5,000 mostly small farmers growing and harvesting olives. To account
for all the objectives of the agri-food supply chain participants, this work aims to set up a model for its
integrated optimization, give its mathematical formulation and suggest a method for solving the problem.
