Abstract
A triangular intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming (TIFLP) model is formulated for the planning of sustainable fruit production system for hyperarid regions while assuming the availability of resources and existing knowledge. A remarkable advancement is achieved through the composition of intuitionistic fuzzy concept with the linear programming by considering all parameters and variables in the form of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, which provides a planning or strategic tool for handling uncertain situations with more control and in a realistic way. This fuzzy optimization model is redesigning the feasible region obtained by linear programming which is presented in graphical form. Moreover, the practical application and implementation of this fruit production system for planning in real-life scenarios are accomplished considering the case study of fruit orchards of Baluchistan, Pakistan.

Have you ever imagined experiencing the world without agriculture? In that case, most of the world’s population could not outlive hunger, and the remaining ones would be hunting for food
Agriculture is art, science, and business of all types of crop production which flourished into seven major branches named as agronomy, horticulture, forestry, animal husbandry, agricultural engineering, fishery, and home science [1]. e beginning of human civilization started with agricultural development referred to as first agricultural revolution
E ultimate motive of sustainable agriculture is the satisfaction of all human needs and necessities with the major contribution to economy in healthy environmental conditions. e improvement of our food security system is the mostly targeted goal for the betterment of present and future generation. e sustainable development goal is the eradication of hunger by accomplishing food security and improving the nutrition intake by 2030 [3]
Summary
Have you ever imagined experiencing the world without agriculture? In that case, most of the world’s population could not outlive hunger, and the remaining ones would be hunting for food. Erefore, agricultural planning is carried out for this goal using operational mathematical approaches in the most efficient way in order to eliminate food security issues [17, 18]. It is used as a single objective as well as multiple objectives to minimize and maximize the cost and profit by the utilization and management of natural resources, labor, techniques, research, capital regarding land allocation, cropping patterns, optimization of water resources, raising livestock, and production maximization with cost minimization [19]. In order to evaluate a targeted objective function that stays valid and optimal under the influence of climatic, social, and economic conditions, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming has been constructed more accurately and meticulously. e article is divided into five sections, where all the basic and essential information is provided in Preliminaries section. e objective function and constraints for optimal fruit production in crisp and intuitionistic fuzzy environment are defined in Methodology section. e model is applied to a real-life example by considering fruit production data from Baluchistan province of Pakistan. e superiority of the proposed methodology is supported by comparative and postoptimal analysis
