Popis: Decision making process is one of the key stage for the successful farm management. In the recent period, the problems are more complex with new issues, which are coming from the climate change, sustainability, circular agriculture, etc. This research aims to show two-stage approach to solving decision making problem in mixed crop-livestock farming. In the first stage, the problem can be treated as well structured problem under strong constraints, and then it could be solved as MADM problem in the second stage. Linear programming (LP) used in the first stage to solve four LP solutions respecting four objectives. In the second phase, two new criteria were set up, and then the new multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problem created and solved by TOPSIS method. The results show that combining two different decision making methods can help farm managers to solve complex problems respecting a numerous both quantitative and qualitative criteria.
