Process (MDP) to compute an adaptive strategy depending on the pathogen spread within a
group of farmers with only one decision-maker for the group. The objective at the group level
is to decrease the cost of the disease and its control. Status for each farm is assumed to be
exactly known each year by the decision-maker. Possible actions each year are Doing …
