In this regard, this Quantitative research is seeking to design a model for promoting healthy crop cultivation among Kermanshah province producers in order to advance the cultivation of this type of product. By review of the literature and the history of research The variables of the research were identified by using the planned behavioral , Health Beliefs and DOI Models. Using the Descriptive-correlation and structural equation modeling to validate variables promoting healthy crop production. The statistical population of the study consisted of 80304 of beneficiaries in Kermanshah province. A sample of 400 farmers in the province was selected by multistage cluster sampling with proportional assignment from seven cities. 400 researcher-made questionnaires were distributed among users in seven provinces. The data collection period was from 1396 to 1397. Data analysis was performed in descriptive statistics using SPSS version 23 and inferential statistics using SmartPlins version 3. Results from structural equations Showed that the Intention variable has the most impact on behavior and Comparative advantage Behavior, Compatibility, Attitude, Perceived behavioral control, Perceived benefits Threats have a positive and significant effect on the intention and healthy cropping behavior of the product.

This study was descriptive-correlation. The statistical population of the research were 250 knowledgeable experts in relation to the production and supply of organic products (organizations such as Agricultural Jihad, Agricultural Engineering Organization, National Iranian Standards Organization and Organic Association of Iran) out of which a sample size of 154 was selected in accordance with Glenn De Esmerald's (2013) sampling table. Sampling technique adopted in this study was random sampling technique. Validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by some experts of organic production and faculty members of Tehran University. The reliability of the main scale of study was assessed by using Cronbach's alpha coefficient . The factor analysis of the institutional-legal component of the organic products standardization system indicated that government's monitoring of the organic production chain was the most effective indicator and the standard of storage and storage of organic products was the most effective indicator of the legal component of the product standardization system.

In this regard, the necessity of converting the conventional farming to organic farming was raised. Method: This study was done to investigate the farmers’ knowledge about organic farming in Bavi city, Khuzestan province. The statistical population consisted vegetable growers in Bavi city (N=140) and the statistical sample was determined using the Morgan’s table (n=104). The statistical sample was chosen through simple random sampling technique. The data were collected using a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by a panel of Agricultural extension and Education experts. Moreover, its reliability was confirmed using the Cronbachs alpha (α=0/96). Finally, the data were analyzed by SPSSwin16. Findings: The results showed that the knowledge of over 62% of the respondents about organic farming is low. There was a significant difference (p=0/01) between farming experience and knowledge about organic farming. Moreover, there was a significant difference (p=0/05) between the size of farmland and the education level and knowledge about organic farming. Results of regression analyses indicates that farming experience and size of farmland were the only variables explaining 24/2% knowledge changes. Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed that farmers' knowledge regarding organic agriculture is low. Althougf the importance of knowledge in adoption and development of a new technology is obvious, lack of information and knowledge has been raised as a limitation and a great obstacle for the development of organic farming.

Data analysis was done based on a factorial experiment in a complete randomized blocks design where planting systems including conventional, high-input, transition to organic, organic, and low-input were chosen as the first factor and cultivars including ‘Sang Tarom’, ‘Tarom Mahalli’, and ‘Tarom Hashemi’ served as the second factor. Results demonstrated that the highest mean number of panicle per m2 in both years belonged to the high-input system. The highest fourth internode lodging index was obtained at interaction of high-input and conventional system with ‘Sang Tarom’. The maximum paddy yield in both years was produced in high-input and conventional systems. The highest grain phosphorous uptake, nitrogen harvest index, potassium harvest index, and gel consistency were achieved in high-input and conventional systems. The highest grain milling efficiency in the first year belonged to the conventional system (72.83%), but in the second year, it belonged to the transition to organic system (75%). Gelatinization temperature in both years was maximum in the conventional system while it was minimum in the low-input and organic systems. Regarding the findings, it can be stated that high-input and conventional systems resulted in increase of quantitative yield, but organic and transition to organic systems led to an increased NPK uptake and improvement of the grain baking related traits.

The current research is a descriptive-survey study focused on correlation and comparison. In this research, data were collected by a research made questionnaire and that its validity was confirmed by a panel of experts, and its reliability was measured through Cronbach's alpha formula (0.907). The relationships between independent and the dependent variables were determined by Pearson's correlation coefficient. The statistical population of this research consisted of 50 experts and 100 paddy farmers of Sowme'eh Sara county that were selected by random sampling procedures. The results of this investigation showed a relationship between the dependent and independent variables and thus it was confirmed (P < 0.05) that the impact of the three independent variables was significant on dependent variable at 0.95 level. As a result, all factors as independent variables were effective on the rejection of organic farming. Pearson correlation test showed that all hypotheses were confirmed. Duncan’s test also indicated that there was a significant difference in terms of the rejection of organic farming of rice among the existing factors namely individual characteristics, social factors and economic factors.

This research has been conducted from February to December 2022 to provide a comprehensive, and practical model to understand the challenges through grounded theory and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in Lorestan province. The data were collected by performing in-depth semi-structured interviews with the 32 agricultural experts in this field. To measure the validity of this qualitative study, a strategy of triangulation was used and to measure the reliability, constant testing and comparison methods of data and use of tables to record data were used. Data analysis was done by using MAXQDA12 in three steps: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The results of this study by grounded theory identified 29 initial codes and seven main following challenges were categorized and by AHP prioritized: lack of technical knowledge, skills and motivation in the field of organic production, weakness in the information and advertising network in the field of organic consumption, weakness in management and human resources of organic training courses, lack of financial resources and credits for organic training courses, structural and content weakness of organic training courses, weakness of modern research regarding organic agriculture and lack of awareness of the relative advantage of organic agriculture.
