A total of 105 researchers were selected through a process of stratified random sampling. and its face- and content validity was established by a panel of experts. Reliability of the instrument was calculated using Cronbach's alpha and proved to be at 0.88. Data were collecated and analyzed by SPSS software. Generally speaking, production was emphasized on to be currently the most important functionality of Iran’s agriculture, far greater than environmental or even cultural issues, according to researchers’ opinions.
