In the context of modern agriculture, medium-sized farms play a crucial role in ensuring economic sustainability and food security. These farms are large enough to benefit from modern technologies and economies of scale, but still small enough to be flexible and innovative. However, they face specific challenges, including access to finance, technology and markets, resource and labour management, and adaptation to climate change and government regulations. Optimizing the management of these farms is essential to ensure long-term productivity, sustainability and profitability. This article aims to explore management optimization methods for medium-sized farms, as well as a SWOT analysis of these methods based on which we will provide a series of conclusions for improving their performance. Agricultural management optimization requires as farmers to integrate new technologies and sustainable practices, to adapt to market and environmental changes, to invest in innovation and development. Only in this way, medium-sized agricultural farms can become models of efficiency and sustainability, contributing significantly to food security and environmental protection.
