Providing an appropriate model for accreditation of Agricultural and Natutal Recources Research Centers is a heavy duty for monitoring and evaluation of these centers. An accreditation is a process of validation in which academic institutions are evaluated. To do this, an accreditation council must first be formed which its focus is reflected in its belief, vision, mission and values. The standards for accreditation are set by a peer review board whose members include faculty members from the accredited institute and the other accredited centers. Therefore, research centers, with their own evaluation of accreditation program, may be able to develop a model for their ongoing performance monitoring. To this end, they must first form different agents or working groups according to their tasks and missions. Each working group defines the tables of objectives and indicators including main objectives, sub-main objectives, evaluation criteria, measurement indices, and achievement criteria. Measurement tool for the evaluation is a specialized questionnaire relevant to each working group together with the registered data of the evaluated institute. The questionnaire is filled by relevant target groups in the National Agricultural Research Centers in the country. The questionnaires are then collected and analyzed. One of the important outcomes of the evaluation is the motivation of the staff of evaluated center in attention to the importance and quality of research in the center and showing its current situation. In addition, the current status of the center will be determined in terms of its possible distance to the level of utility and standards.

Today, the material resources available to supply soil organic matter cannot
respond agriculture practices. In Iran, More than 60 percent of the cultivated soil
organic carbon content is less than one percent and in considerable part of the soils
is less than 0.50 percent. While critical point of soil organic carbon for the stability
of soil structure is two percent. Rural waste management and convert them into
vermicompost is affordable way to provide organic material. In this regard, in order
to the supply of organic matter for agricultural soils, vermicompost production in
Fars province is expanding. This study was conducted to investigate the impacts of
vermicompost production from the perspective of women in the Fars province and it was done by qualitative method and conducted in-depth, structured interviews. Results showed that vermicompost production have many positive effects for rural communities including: economic impacts (increase production, reduce costs, and strengthen the non-agricultural economy), environmental impacts (reducing pollution of water, soil and air, reducing the volume of garbage, preserving the beauty of the rural landscape), and health impacts (producing safe products, reduce cancer, reduce the number of insect pathogenic). Rural women said that use of vermicompost in the farming also increases soil productivity. The findings showed that the most important health impacts of vermicompost production are organic production and reduce diseases, especially cancers. Rural women believed that produce vermicompost from organic waste is one of the important ways to reduce environmental pollution. The practical suggestions are provided for improving the production of vermicompost.
