Abstract :
Maintaining food security is one of the requirements of development, but agricultural development policy has led to unsustainable development in Iran. The purpose of this research is to identify the impact of agricultural development on the instability of groundwater resources. Most studies have criticized the government management in the field of agricultural hardware; however, this article studies the research community along with evaluating the unilateral role of government in policy advice, and methods of sustainable agricultural development to conserve groundwater resources. The analytical method has been used in the present study. Among the goals of sustainable development in the UN document, economic growth and agricultural promotion along with sustainable water use has been selected.Based on the development plans of Iran as an upstream document, can be concluded that since we have practically witnessed the imbalance of production and consumption, the agricultural development policy of the government has violated the standards of sustainable development by ignoring stakeholder participation in maintaining water inventory. In the end, with understanding the importance of the water cycle as one of the requirements of sustainable development, it is suggested that by relying on good governance and integrated management, we can use the previous researches and local actors to achieve sustainable agricultural development.
