  This study aims to identification and determine the relationships between the challenges of using the technology of 4.0 industry in the circular supply chain of sustainable agriculture in order to manage and reduce waste and residues of agricultural products from production to consumption. For this purpose, the most important challenges have been identified through the review of theoretical literature and after screening by the fuzzy Delphi method, they have been analyzed with the interpretive-structural modeling method. The statistical population, 15 experts including senior managers of food and agricultural industrial companies, were selected by targeted non-probability sampling with the snowball technique and answered the questionnaire of paired comparisons. 17 challenges were identified and confirmed in three economic, environmental and social categories, according to the findings of structural-interpretive modeling, the challenges of "job threats of employees and non-adaptation of employees with smart technologies" (social), "financing In digital infrastructure" (economic), and "emission and disposal of harmful electronic waste and consumption of resources and energy of smart technologies" (environmental) are the most influencing. And the challenges of "lack of government financial support for the use of smart technologies" (economic) and "unavailability of global standards and protocols of smart technologies to protect the environment" (environmental), "Uncertain financial returns of investment in fourth generation industry technologies"(environmental), and "High investment in fourth generation industry technologies for sustainable agricultural operations" (environmental) are the most influenced and The most important are that to in order to reduce these challenges, financial, legal and legal support from the government is needed.
