In the case of a risk model, and particularly a target MOTAD model, the standard deviation is lower than in the same model with no risk factor. Indeed, taking risk aversion into account leads the model to opt for solutions in which incomes are less significant but closer to one another. This can be observed for example in the minimum income with -732029 in the model with no risk aversion versus 60000 in the model with the risk factor.
The farmer will stop renting land in the Target MOTAD model and will diversify her cropping patterns.
