In order to deal with the environmental risks caused by human behavior and change it towards sustainable pro-environmental behaviors, it is suggested to re-establish the connection between humans and the natural world. The purpose of this research was to identify the components affecting connectedness to nature (CTN) in order to strengthen conservation behaviors in the context of critical theory paradigm. To analyze the selected final articles, qualitative content analysis technique with inductive approach was used as the research method. The articles related to CTN are considered as the statistical population and sample in this technique. Selection of the article from population was fulfilled using a purposeful approach. Based on the results of content analysis, a model was developed and proposed for components affecting CTN. The results showed that the three main components including "situational-contextual (experience with nature and activities affecting CTN)", "individual (worldviews and individual factors)", and "psychological (mindfulness, identity, and empathy)" dimensions affecting CTN. Each of the sub-components also encompasses several variables that, when given attention, can enhance CTN and pro-environmental conservation behaviors. The model developed and proposed in the present study can be utilized by policymakers and stakeholders interested in facilitating change and planning for decision-making processes among natural resource users.

Rising food prices have raised concerns about declining food security and increasing food poverty, thereby increasing the vulnerability of the poor to food insecurity. Chicken meat is highly consumed in Iran and plays a key role in the Iranian food basket. Therefore, the explosion in its price in 2020 has posed a threat to the country's food security. Iran's chicken industry is highly dependent on imported inputs, so any increase in exchange rates, global prices, and import restrictions will increase the final price of chicken. In this context, the current study examined the impact of the chicken price explosion and compensation strategies on the amount of calories consumed by consumers. For this purpose, a multi-market equilibrium simulation model was used. The chicken market is linked to the red meat market (beef and sheep). The results showed that an 84% increase in the price of chicken in 2020 would lead to a 41%, 6%, and 14% decrease in the consumption of chicken, beef, and sheep, respectively. In addition, an increase in the price of chicken meat led to a decrease in per capita calorie intake by around 27%. These results indicate that beef and sheep products are not considered viable alternatives to chicken in Iran. Comparing policies that increase nominal income with policies that increase products on the market, the results show that policies that increase products on the market through increased production or imports have more favorable effects on food security. The results also revealed that improving policies related to the import of products will lead to favorable effects on food security compared to nominal income enhancement policies. The results of this study provide policy and decision makers with appropriate adaptation strategies to deal with price shocks in the food sector of the countries.

The aim of this study was to investigate the behavioral drivers of food wastereduction among rural households. The conceptual basis of this study was the theory of plannedbehavior (TPB), which aims to explain the relationship between intention, attitude, subjectivenorms, and perceived behavioral control of villagers. This study extends the TPB by includingnew constructs such as environmental concerns, guilt, and habit.

The present study was conducted through a survey. To collect data, aresearcher-made questionnaire inspired by other studies was designed and validated. In orderto ensure the validity of the questionnaire, the initial version was first reviewed by a team ofacademic experts in the field of environmental behaviors to check its content validity. Then,based on the experts' feedback, the constructs and items of each were reviewed again. Byconducting a pre-test study outside the research population, the reliability of the research toolwas evaluated. For this purpose, a pilot study was conducted among 30 villagers of Piranshahr.In order to estimate the reliability of the research tool, Cronbach's alpha coefficients werecalculated. Cronbach's alpha values for the latent constructs/variables were in the range of 0.70to 0.90, which were higher than the recommended threshold value of 0.70. In addition, tomeasure the reflective model, standard factor loading values, t-value, convergent validity, anddivergent (discriminant) validity were evaluated. Composite reliability (CR) was used toestimate the reliability and evaluate the internal consistency of the studied constructs in the finalstages of the research. The results of the final reliability and validity assessment revealed thatall observed values for these criteria are within the acceptable ranges. The target population ofthe study consisted of all the villagers of Naghadeh County with a wide variety of socialbackgrounds (N=36764). The sample size was determined using the sampling table of Krejcieand Morgan. The table’s recommended sample size was 384 cases. The sampling method ofthe present study was stratified random with proportional assignment. For this purpose, thecounty was first divided into two parts: central and Mohammadyar and finally cases wererandomly selected from the village. Data were collected through a survey and analyzed usingstructural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).

The results showed that subjective norms, attitude, and perceivedbehavioral control significantly affected the intention to reduce food waste. Similarly, the twodrivers of guilt and environmental concern also positively influenced intention. In addition, thedirect effects of the two variables of intention and habit on waste reduction behavior werestatistically significant.

Since sustained intrinsic motivation or strong intentions are required to maintainlong-term behavior, therefore, it is recommended that policies and programs on thedevelopment and evaluation of behavioral interventions aimed at promoting food wastereduction behavior be broadly based on strengthening the intention of the villagers. If there arefavorable conditions and incentives, people will be more willing to reduce food waste. Thefindings of this study have useful insights for government agencies, policymakers, health andtreatment centers, agricultural extension and education agents, and academics who areinterested in developing strategies to reduce food waste.

Regarding the crucial role of human resources in any organization, addressing issues that lead to reducing occupational injuries and increasing their productivity in the workplace is of great significance. However, primary studies show that little research has been done in this area. In this regard, investigating the effect of employing workplace ergonomic principles on occupational productivity of experts through the mediating role of occupational stress and burnout in Kerman Agricultural Jihad Organization was determined as the aim of present study. Present research is an applied and causal-correlational study that was carried out using a cross-sectional survey and structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the study was the experts of Kerman Agricultural Jihad Organization (N=1418). The sample size was estimated to be 306 cases using Krejcie and Morgan sampling table. The samples were selected by stratified random sampling approach. The data gathering instrument was a questionnaire whose face and content validities were confirmed by a panel of experts. The reliability of instrument was achieved using Cronbach's alpha coefficients and composite reliability indices. Structural equation modeling findings demonstrated that the direct effect of ergonomic principles on productivity was positive and significant. The direct effects of ergonomic principles on occupational stress and burnout were negative and significant. Furthermore, the direct effects of occupational stress and burnout on productivity were negative and significant. The direct effect of occupational stress on burnout was positive and significant and the indirect effect of ergonomic principles on productivity was significant, as well. Finally, the findings revealed that three independent variables (ergonomic principles in the workplace, occupational stress, and burnout) could account for 61% of the variance in productivity of experts in Kerman Agricultural Jihad Organization.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or drones are part of the latest generation of precision farming technologies that are increasingly used in the monitoring and management of agricultural activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the drivers of acceptance of the agricultural drones among wheat farmers. For this purpose, an extended version of the Technology Acceptance Model was employed as a theoretical basis. The statistical population was wheat farmers in Fars province; out them 373 cases were selected using a multi-stage random sampling method. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity and reliability were evaluated and confirmed. The results indicated that the variables perceived ease of use, attitude, job relevance, and perceived usefulness had the greatest positive and significant effects on the intention to use agricultural drones, respectively. Taken together, these four variables could account for about 44 % of the variance changes in the intention to use agricultural drones. Also, job relevance was positively and significantly affected by perceived usefulness and the intention to use agricultural drones. Similarly, attitude towards the use of drones also showed positive and significant effects perceived ease of use and the intention to use agricultural drones. Examining fit indices of the Technology Acceptance Model showed that this model is of an acceptable level of data-model fitness and can be a basis for behavioral changes in the field of agricultural drones’ adoption. Finally, based on the research results, practical recommendations were presented that can help policy-makers, decision-makers, and practitioners to encourage the intention to use agricultural drones.

Students' academic achievement is one of main indicators in evaluating higher agricultural education. One of the most effective strategies in terms of academic achievement is to reinforce self-directness and meta-cognitive skills. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of elf-directness and meta-cognitive skills on the academic achievement of agriculture students in Iran. This research was a descriptive-correlational study using a survey technique. The instrument adopted in this study was a questionnaire which validity was confirmed by a group of curriculum developers and educational planning specialists in the higher agricultural education system.

The transformational and transactional leadership styles also had positive and significant effects on psychological empowerment. On the other hand, the laissez-faire leadership style had a negative and significant effect on psychological empowerment. In the end, it should be noted that the independent variables could account for 63 percent of the variance in job performance.

Academic performance of students is one of the main success indicators of academic activities in higher education systems. Much of the education systems' efforts are aimed at achieving high academic performance. In this regard, the main purpose of present study was to analyze the effects of information literacy, self-directed learning, critical thinking, and academic self-efficacy on academic performance of agricultural higher education students. This research is an applied study. The statistical population was agricultural students of Iran public universities (N=236973). From whom 386 students were selected as a sample through stratified random sampling method. Research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire which its validity confirmed by a group of Shiraz University's experts in the field of "agricultural extension and education" and "educational sciences". Ordinal theta coefficients demonstrated an acceptable reliability for the research tool (θ=0.71-0.78). The results of path analysis showed that the four variables self-directed learning, information literacy, academic self-efficacy, and critical thinking skills had significant positive effects on academic performance of agricultural students. Furthermore, the independent variables could account for 35.8 per cent of the variance of academic performance of agricultural students. Finally agricultural universities and colleges were recommended to make changes in their educational processes in order to increase academic performance of students.

The main purpose of present study was to investigate the effects of valued-cultural orientations (fatalistic, individualistic, egalitarian, and hierarchical) and environmental concern on farmers' soil conservation behavior. Present study is an applied research which was carried out though a cross-sectional survey. The statistical population under the study was the villages of Miandoab County (N= 22750) from which 378 farmers were selected as a sample using Krejcie and Morgan sampling table. A multi-stage stratified random sampling method was employed in order to select the samples. Research tool was a questionnaire which its validity confirmed by a panel of academic experts. A pilot test and Cronbach's alpha coefficients were used to examine the reliability of the questionnaire (0.73≤α≤0.91). The results revealed that environmental concern towards soil conservation had significant positive effect on soil conservation behavior of farmers. Moreover, egalitarian and hierarchical value orientations towards soil conservation had also significant and positive effects on environmental concern towards soil conservation. However, individualistic and fatalistic value orientations towards soil conservation had significant and negative effects on environmental concern towards soil conservation. The results revealed that independent variables within the framework could account for 42.5 % of variance change in dependent variable (soil conservation behavior).

Effective use of meteorological information has paramount importance in decreasing farmers' vulnerability towards climate variability. Analyzing the barriers to meteorological information use by farmers was the main aim of the study. In order to achieve this goal, the research was conducted through two qualitative and quantitative phases. The purpose of first phase was to identify the basic concepts associated with barriers to meteorological information use. Therefore, 12 in-depth interviews were conducted with the farmers of Naghadeh County based on purposeful snowball sampling method. The purpose of second phase was to reduce the concepts that had been extracted from in-depth interviews conducted in the previous phase and then categorize them into some general factors using an exploratory factor analysis (EFA). All of the farmers in Naghadeh County (N = 9006) were the statistical population of this phase which 368 of them were selected as the sample using stratified random sampling method. Research tool was a close-ended questionnaire that developed based on the concepts identified from the qualitative phase. The validity and reliability of questionnaire were confirmed by a panel of academic experts as well as item-total-correlation coefficients, respectively. The results of exploratory factor analysis revealed that the barriers of meteorological information use included "educational-communicative", "normative", "informational", "infrastructural-political", and "professional-economic" barriers. These five factors could account for 54.96% of the variance of barriers to meteorological information use. Finally, it was recommended that mass media and social networks can be used as a facilitating tool for meteorological information use.

Strengthening and paying attention to entrepreneurial spirit among the members of society are of important topics in entrepreneurship. Meeting the goals in this field requires some contextual factors that are considered as the prerequisites of ground setting for entrepreneurship. Present study aims to investigate the effects of contextual factors on the entrepreneurial spirit among members of agricultural cooperatives in Naghadeh Township. Present study is an applied research which was carried out through cross-sectional survey. Statistical population of this research was members of cooperatives (N=1170). Krejice and Morgan Table was used to determine the sample size (n=290). A stratified random sampling method was implemented to select samples. The data collection instrument was a structured questionnaire that its validity confirmed by a panel of experts. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated to test the reliability of different parts of questionnaire (0.88≤α≤0.92). The results of structural equation modeling showed that economic, social, technological, and political factors have positive and significant effects on entrepreneurial spirit. So that the value of the determination coefficient (R2) could account for 0.66% of the variance of the dependent variable. According to the results, it is recommended that agricultural cooperatives be given more attention by policymakers because of their potential in entrepreneurship and improving entrepreneurial spirit.

Agriculture is the largest user of fresh water resources and thus farmers' norms and behaviors are of great importance in water resource management system. The main aim of the present research was to investigate the determinants of farmers' moral norms and ascription of responsibility towards water conservation. This study was a descriptive-correlational research which was carried out using survey method. The study population composed of farmers of Mahabad and Miandoab counties in West Azerbaijan Province from whom 380 farmers were selected as a sample through stratified random sampling method. The research instrument was a questionnaire which its validity confirmed by a panel of experts and the reliability of the items approved through a pilot study. The results revealed that water conservation concern, ascription of responsibility, and place attachment had positive and significant effects on moral norms of water conservation. Furthermore, collectivistic value orientation positively and significantly affected ascription of responsibility. However, individualistic value orientation has significant negative effect on ascription of responsibility. The results generally revealed that independent variables could predict about 58 percent of the variation of farmers' moral norms of water conservation.

Eliminating academic burnout and increasing academic performance have always been one of the most critical challenges of higher education systems. From this perspective, identification and analysis of factors affecting them are of great importance. The main aim of this research was to analyze the effects of emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, and mental health to reduce academic burnout and to boost performance of agricultural Students. Present study is an applied research which was implemented using field survey. The statistical population was agricultural students of Iran public universities in 2018 (N=236973). 386 students were selected as a sample through stratified random sampling method. Research tool was a closed-ended questionnaire which its validity confirmed by a panel of experts. Ordinal theta coefficients demonstrated an acceptable reliability for the research tool (θ=0.74-0.89). The findings of path analysis revealed that independent variables predicted 69.3, 42.3 and 30.3 percent of variations in academic performance, academic burnout and mental health, respectively.

According to experts, the inefficient agricultural sector has a dominant role in degrading water resources all over the world. Farmers’ conservational behavior is an important aspect of new integrated water management studies. Relevantly, various behavioral theories have been proposed in the field of environmental psychology. The main objective of the present comparative analysis and review study was to explain foundations of the most remarkable water conservation behavioral theories, classify them, and finally, present a critical discussion on the better application of each theory to explain the farmers' Water Conservation Behaviors (WCBs). This study is based on the documentary research method which was accomplished using a systematic literature review. The comparison analysis of existing theories indicates that the “theory selection” should be consistent with the “type of behavior under study”. Consequently, it is recommended to adopt the theories like Planned Behavior Theory and Reasoned Action Theory to illustrate the private-sphere WCBs such as farmers’ willingness to pay for water conservation because these behaviors are directly associated with the farmers’ personal interests. With respect to those conservational behaviors with participatory and collective nature, an individual may ignore his/her short-sighted and immediate benefits to achieve collective and long-term interests. In such a case, the use of moral approach and its relevant theories, including the Value-Belief-Norms Theory and the Norm Activation Theory, seems to be more appropriate. Consequently, agricultural practitioners and researchers are recommended to use rational approach theories to analyze the WCBs of farmers.

Nowadays, promoting entrepreneurship to train graduates endowed with entrepreneurial traits is considered as one of the new functions of the faculties of agriculture. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to design an appropriate model for entrepreneurial faculty of agriculture in Iran. This study was of descriptive-correlational research type in which a survey method was employed for data collection. The study population comprised all students (N1=19973) and faculty members (N2=713) of all faculties of agriculture in Iran's state-run (public) universities of whom 403 students and 344 faculty members were sampled by multi-staged (three-stage) method. The sample size was determined by Krejcie and Morgan's sample size table. The research instrument was a self-designed questionnaire whose face and content validity were confirmed by a panel of experts. The diagnostic validity of the questionnaire in the case of its latent variables was also confirmed using the average variance extracted method (0.76≤AVE≤0.87). Furthermore, its internal consistency (0.81≤α≤0.93) and composite reliability (0.80≤Pc≤0.91) were confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The collected data were also analyzed using SPSS22 and LISREL9.1. The results showed a significant relationship between structural, content, and contextual factors and entrepreneurship of faculties of agriculture. Meanwhile, content factors showed the greatest effect (path coefficient = 0.83) on the entrepreneurship of agricultural faculties. According to the findings, the final proposed model was developed with respect to the factors listed in three categories of education, research, and entrepreneurship for the establishment of entrepreneurial faculties of agriculture in Iran.

The main purpose of this research is to analyze the effects of social capital components on the mental health of rural and nomadic women that were the members of micro-credit funds in Kerman province. The study is a descriptive-correlational research conducted through a survey technique. The statistical population consisted of all the members of the micro-credit funds in Kerman province (N = 1146). As many as 300 members were selected as a sample using Krejcie and Morgan sample size table and the stratified random sampling method. The research tool was a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by an academic panel of agricultural extension and education and mental health experts. Its reliability was confirmed by using a pilot test and calculating Cronbach's Alpha coefficients (0.72 ≤ α ≤ 0.89). The findings of the correlational analysis revealed that all the components including social trust, social interaction, social participation, social cohesion, exchange of information with social system, and informal relations positively and significantly correlate with the mental health of women. Furthermore, the results of the regression analysis demonstrated that the variables of social trust, social interaction, social cohesion, and exchange of information with social system have positive and significant impacts on mental health. These variables explained 61.9 percent of the variance of the mental health of rural and nomadic women.

Despite the important role that rural and nomad women play in developing countries, their significant contributions are generally neglected and then they have been deprived of rural development programs. Women have always been a vulnerable group of society that are invisibly trapped in deprivation and powerlessness. Social entrepreneurship as an axis of development can be considered as an important factor to solve social problems and challenges that women are dealing with. Nomad women's micro-credit funds in rural areas are potential structures that can be used as a platform for social entrepreneurship and then to solve women's social problems. But, since the development and expansion of social entrepreneurship in any structure, especially in nomad women's micro-credit funds depends on the determination of its associated factors, thus identifying the factors that may affect social entrepreneurship is really significant. In this regard, the main aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting social entrepreneurial intention in nomad women's micro-credit funds. This study was a descriptive-correlational research that conducted through a cross-sectional survey. The statistical population was all members of the micro-credit funds in Kerman province (N= 1146) that 300 members were selected as a sample using Krejcie and Morgan sample size table and stratified random sampling method. The research tool was a questionnaire which its validity confirmed by a panel of experts and its reliability was confirmed using a pilot test and calculating Cronbach's Alpha coefficients (0.71≤α≤0.86). Research findings showed that empathy, self-efficacy, perceived social support, moral obligation and prior experience had positive and significant impacts on social entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that independent variables could predict 43.2% of the variance changes for dependent variable. At the end, some recommendation provided in line with the results.

Efficient use of water resources is an undeniable necessity in agricultural sector. The purpose of the present study was ethical analysis of farmers' water conservation behavior in West Azerbaijan Province. In this descriptive-correlational research, the study population included the farmers residing in the West Azerbaijan province in 2017. 380 farmers were selected as a sample using Krejcie and Morgan's sample size table and stratified random sampling method. Research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire which its validity and reliability was confirmed. SPSS 22 and AMOS 22 soft-wares were used to analyze the data. Findings: Water conservation intention (p<0.01, r=0.559) and perceived behavioral control (p<0.01, r=0.433) had positive and significant correlation with water conservation behavior. Furthermore, the moral norm of water conservation (p<0.01, r=0.598), subjective norm of water conservation (p<0.01, r=0.510), and perceived behavioral control (p<0.01, r=0.329) had also positive and significant correlation with water conservation intention. The independent variables of the study framework accounted for 43.1 percent of water conservation intention's change and 41.9 percent of water conservation behavior's change, respectively. It can be concluded that Planned Behavior Theory can be applied to analyze farmers' moral behavior of the water conservation. Using the proposed theoretical framework leads to development and extension of existing understanding, regarding complex interactions of socio-psychological variables of water resources conservation.

Eradication of poverty has always been one of the most important aims of sustainable rural development. Poverty has gender-based dimension and gender inequality is one of the most important aspects of poverty. Gender inequality is a complex concept which includes subjective and objective facets. This concept is affected and/or formed based on community member's believes and has a great impact on living standards of community members. In this regard, analysis of factors influencing gender inequality among poor farmers’ households was determined as the main purpose of the present research. The statistical population of the study consisted the poor farmers’ households in rural areas of Sarevestan County in Fars Province (N=480). Totally, 215 households were selected as a sample group using Krejcie and Morgan's sampling table and stratified random sampling method. Research findings revealed that variables like gender stereotypes, gender socialization, men's perception about ability to control the resources and, women's perception about ability to control the resources positively and significantly correlated with gender inequality. While, men's attitude towards the share of women in resources control revealed a negative and significant correlation with gender inequality.

Environmental sustainability is one of the most important issues in current century. In this regard, a lot of researches have focused on reconceptualization of human relationship with nature. But in this context, the environmental aesthetics aspect has been less considered. The purpose of this research is to apply Maslow's needs theory to analyze rural peoples’ environmental aesthetics attitude. This study is a descriptive, correlation research that was fulfilled using a survey technique as a research method. The population of this study included rural people (N=121149) in Miandoab township. Totally 136 people were selected as sample by Cochran test and stratified random sampling method. Findings reveal that there was a significant association between participants needs and their environmental aesthetics attitude. Also, results of participants stratifying based on different levels of Maslow's needs pyramid show that majority of them are on the esteem level. Non of participants were on the physiologic needs level. The results of Kruskal-Wallis test showed that individuals on various levels of needs pyramid had significantly different environmental aesthetics attitude. Based on the results, some recommendations have been presented.

Industrial revolution occurrence and changing human's relationship toward nature, has been caused numerous environmental problems for human. Due to abundance those problems, the environmental aesthetics dimension has been less considered, compared with the other aspects. The purpose of this research was to investigate affective components on rural people's environmental aesthetics attitude in Miandoab Township. This research is a casual-correlative research that was fulfilled using a survey technique as a research method. Statistical population was rural people (N=121149) in Miandoab township that 136 people was selected as a sample by Cochran test and stratified random sampling method (0.63≤ ≤0.94). The research tool was a questionnaire, which its validity confirmed by a panel of agricultural extension and education experts and its reliability was calculated by using a pilot test and Cronbach's Alpha. Findings revealed that there were significant association between "environmental aesthetics attitude" and "aesthetics knowledge", "spirituality and ethic", and "environment factor". Also analysis results showed that environmental knowledge has highest ability to anticipation of environmental aesthetics attitude ( 0.632). In this regard, regression analysis showed that independent variables can explain 59.6 percent of environmental aesthetics attitude variance. Based on the findings, some executive recommendations have been presented at the end of the article.
