+def utopia_problem_old(problem_name: str = "Forest problem", holding: int = 1) -> tuple[Problem, dict]:
+    r"""Defines a test forest problem that has TensorConstants and TensorVariables.
+
+    The problem has TensorConstants V, W and P as vectors taking values from a data file and
+    TensorVariables X_n, where n is the number of units in the data, as vectors matching the constants in shape.
+    The variables are binary and each variable vector X_i has one variable with the value 1 while others have value 0.
+    The variable with the value 1 for each vector X_i represents the optimal plan for the corresponding unit i.
+    The three objective functions f_1, f_2, f_3 represent the net present value, wood volume at the end of
+    the planning period, and the profit from harvesting.
+    All of the objective functions are to be maximized.
+    The problem is defined as follows:
+
+    \begin{align}
+        \mbox{maximize~} & \sum_{j=1}^N\sum_{i \in I_j} v_{ij} x_{ij} & \\
+        \mbox{maximize~} & \sum_{j=1}^N\sum_{i \in I_j} w_{ij} x_{ij} & \\
+        \mbox{maximize~} & \sum_{j=1}^N\sum_{i \in I_j} p_{ij} x_{ij} & \\
+        \nonumber\\
+        \mbox{subject to~} &  \sum\limits_{i \in I_j} x_{ij} = 1, & \forall j = 1 \ldots N \\
+        & x_{ij}\in \{0,1\}& \forall j = 1 \ldots N, ~\forall i\in I_j,
+    \end{align}
+
+    where $x_{ij}$ are decision variables representing the choice of implementing management plan $i$ in stand $j$,
+    and $I_j$ is the set of available management plans for stand $j$. For each plan $i$ in stand $j$
+    the net present value, wood volume at the end of the planning period, and the profit from harvesting
+    are represented by $v_{ij}$, $w_{ij}$, and $p_{ij}$ respectively.
+
+    Args:
+        holding (int, optional): The number of the holding to be optimized. Defaults to 1.
+        comparing (bool, optional): Determines if solutions are to be compared to those from the rahti app.
+            Defaults to None.
+
+    Returns:
+        Problem: An instance of the test forest problem.

+
+## Introduction
+
+DESDEO is an open-source framework for interactive multiobjective optimization
+methods. The framework contains implementations of both scalarization- and
+population-based interactive methods. There are currently no other open-source
+software frameworks that focus solely on the implementation of interactive
+multiobjective optimization methods.
+
+The mission of DESDEO is to increase awareness of the benefits of interactive
+multiobjective optimization methods, make interactive methods openly available,
+and to function as _the_ central hub for implementations of various interactive
+methods. Apart from existing methods, DESDEO offers various tools to facilitate
+the development of new methods and their application as well.  Another important
+goal of DESDEO is to answer the needs of decision makers and practitioners when
+it comes to modeling and solving real-life multiobjective optimization problems.
+
+In the bigger picture, DESDEO will be composed of three major components:
+
+1. The __core-logic__, which contains the algorithmic implementation of
+interactive methods, various tools related to multiobjective optimization, and
+means to model a variety of multiobjective optimization problems. The core-logic
+can be considered stable enough for use in research and applications.
+2. The __web-API__ (WIP), which implements a web-based application programming
+interface (API) to allow the use of the various functionalities found in
+DESDEO's core-logic through a web connection. The web-API implements also a
+database, which is a vital component for managing and enabling
+decision-support using the framework. __The
+web-API is currently under heavy development, and is subject to changes.__
+3. The __web-GUI__ (WIP), which implements a web-based interface for utilizing
+the interactive methods and tools for modeling and solving multiobjective
+optimization problems. __The web-GUI relies heavily on the web-API, and is also being actively developed currently, and therefore subject to sudden changes.__
+
+For developing and experimenting with interactive multiobjective optimization
+methods on a "grass root" level, the __core-logic__ provides the necessary
+tools.  For deploying interactive methods, the __web-API__ and the __web_GUI__
+play a central role.
+
+DESDEO is an open-source project and everybody is welcome to contribute!
+
+## Core-logic: key features
+
+DESDEO's core-logic offers various features that can facilitate the application and
+development of new interactive multiobjective optimization methods. Some
+of the key features include, but are not limited to,
+
+-   A powerful, pydantic-based, schema for modeling multiobjective optimization
+problem of various kinds. Including, analytically defined problems, data-based
+problems, surrogate-based problems, and simulation-based problems.
+Both continuous and (mixed-)integer problems are supported as well.
+-   Support to interface to many popular and powerful optimization software for
+solving multiobjective optimization problems. Including Gurobi, various solvers
+from the COIN-OR project, and nevergrad, for instance. 
+-   A wide assortment of modular software components for implementing existing
+and new interactive multiobjective optimization methods. For example, many
+scalarization functions and evolutionary operators for multiobjective
+optimization are available.
+-   An extensive documentation suitable for both newcomers to DESDEO and
+interactive multiobjective optimization in general, and seasoned veterans.
+
+## Web-API: key features
+
+DESDEO's web-API is currently under active development. Once it stabilized, its
+key features will be listed here. In the meantime, the interested user can
+follow (and contribute!) the development progress of the web-API in [this
+issue](https://github.com/industrial-optimization-group/DESDEO/issues/245).
+
+## Web-GUI: key features
+
+DESDEO's web-GUI is currently in a planning stage. Once its active development
+starts, an issue will be created for documenting its development, as is
+currently the case with the web-API.
+
+## Installation instructions
+
+For installing DESDEO, please see the documentation (TODO) for instructions.
+
+## Documentation
+
+Care has been taken to make sure DESDEO is well documented, making it accessible
+to both newcomers and seasoned users alike.  [The documentation of DESDEO is
+available online.](https://desdeo.readthedocs.io/en/desdeo2/)
+
+## Contributing
+
+As DESDEO is an open source-project, anybody is welcome to contribute.
+An extensive tutorial to get started contributing to DESDEO
+[is available in the documentation](https://desdeo.readthedocs.io/en/desdeo2/tutorials/contributing/).
+Be sure to check it out!
+
+For additional support for contributing to DESDEO,
