Abstract :
Abstract Self-sufficiency in agriculture is the serious challenges in the world. A country whose economy and production is weak has to be under the burden of political and cultural attacks from the owners of the economy. Countries should consider agriculture as a national asset and wealth and in the direction of security goals in order to achieve economic independence and break the domination system in the world. Due to being in a sensitive position in the Middle East and the world, Iran has always been exposed to political threats, all-round economic pressures and sanctions from abroad and sometimes inappropriate domestic policies. Therefore, achieving sustainable self-sufficiency of strategic agricultural products by using the power of scientific centers of the country, by relying on the pattern of resistance economy and avoiding extravagance, it can be a powerful tool for the independence and foreign policy of our country a deterrent against the world powers.
