Transfer of Manure as Fertilizer from Livestock Farms to Crop Fields: The Case of Catalonia |
Abstract | ||
---|---|---|
•Addressing the logistics process of satisfying nutrient crops needs by means of livestock manure.•A centralized solution has been developed, based on an adapted version of Dijkstra’s algorithm.•A decentralized solution has also been developed, based on the foraging behavior of ants.•The centralized solution is more efficient, while the decentralized one is fairer to the farmers.•This is the first application of a decentralized ant-inspired algorithm to this problem. |
