description: Watersheds are large-scale regions where the agricultural production planning is associated with  multiple  objectives, usually, including economic, social and environmental targets. Uncertainty plays  an  important role in all agricultural planning because some factors are not fully controllable while some input data  or parameters such as demand, resources, costs and objective functions are imprecise. This paper applies fuzzy  multi-objective  mathematical  programming  model  to  the  Atrak  watershed  agricultural  development plan.  The model focuses on attaining three objectives simultaneously, namely, profit maximization, employment  maximization and erosion minimization and these are subjected to 88 constraints. Results of the model indicate  that, when compared with the current cropping structure, the implementation of the optimal cropping pattern  could increase profit and employment and decrease soil erosion significantly.
