The modern farming technologies nowadays utilized by farmers to increase the<br />

agriculture productivity have induced a serious impact to the environment. A sustainable<br />

agricultural practice (SAP) is vital to preserve the environment while increasing the<br />

agriculture productivity. Hence, this research aims to evaluate the interdependence<br />

among the criteria and determine the best crop commodities for SAP by using a<br />

combination approach that integrates intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) with Decision-Making<br />

Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I<br />

Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) methods to reduce the ambiguity in human judgement.<br />

Based on literature review, ten comprehensive criteria related to SAP were selected. The<br />

results revealed that cultivation, crop value, crop demand and environmental condition<br />

are the causal group and oil palm is the best crop commodities for SAP. The findings of<br />

this study could provide a valuable reference for farmers in selecting the crop<br />

commodities for SAP.<br />
