Mathematical optimization of frost resistant crop production to ensure food supply during a nuclear winter catastrophe
Abstract This study aimed to estimate the optimal mix of frost resistant crops and land area needed to provide basic nutrition during various nuclear winter scenarios for New Zealand (NZ), a temperate island nation. It used linear programming to minimize land area required for cropping while produci...
