So far, there has not been a comprehensive study on the effect of climate change and global warming on horticultural products such as fruits, flowers, vegetables, and medicinal plants. Despite this, the few available data show that these changes are more effective on fruit trees, especially temperate and semi-tropical fruit trees. Climate change and global warming affect fruit production and phenology, cold requirement, temperature stress, pollination, water and soil status of orchards, pests and diseases, and fruit quality as well as boundaries of fruit tree cultivation. The strategies to cope with these difficulties are breeding cultivars with low cold requirement, cooling to compensate for cold requirement, dealing with hot winters and early warming, using appropriate rootstocks, avoiding entering dormancy, managing orchard water and soil, using new technologies, using chemical compounds and growth regulators, creating crop diversity, using different types of greenhouses, Attention to plant migration, modeling of climate, zoning and changing the cultivation pattern. Challenges of climate change and global warming in horticulture and strategies to adapt to them, are fully discussed in this article.

Medicinal plants not only have economic advantages but also can improve social health. In spite of developing the plantation of medical plants throughout Mazandaran province, one of the main challenges of that the farmers are faced is the marketing of their products. Present study aimed to analyze marketing of medical plants products, and to present appropriate marketing strategies based on farmers’ views. Statistical population included the farmers who were cultivating medical plants in the eastern part of Mazandaran province (Sari, Neka, Behshahr and Galogah Township). 339 farmers were selected as sample by stratified random sampling using the Krejcie and Morgan table. Descriptive and quantitative research method, survey technique and questionnaire tool were used to collect data. The research results showed that farmers mainly sell their products through retailing, brokers, or medicinal herbs sellers. The most important challenges in the cultivation and marketing of medicinal plants have been the high cost of production inputs, the small number of processing and packaging workshops, low international exports, the inability to access to financial credits, and the low awareness of farmers about the marketing of medicinal plants. based on the farmers’ view, strategies such as granting low-interest financial credits, setting up processing workshops, training and empowering farmers in the field of marketing, facilitating the issuance of licenses, creating permanent and temporary markets for direct sales, guaranteed purchase by the government and providing consumption subsidies, can improve marketing of medicinal plants

The evidence from experiences and projects have revealed that favourable policy environment, resource conserving technologies, enabling external institutions, and local institutions and groups are the components and the preconditions needed for the successful implementation of sustainable agriculture. In this context, the mission of government is providing an appropriate institutional environment for the development and enforcement mechanisms of sustainable agriculture. Accordingly, in the present article, agricultural stockholders’ viewpoints including official experts, scientists, researchers, and business about strategies as a set of rules and devices within a mechanism for sustainable agricultural development have been explored. Stratified random sampling was used to identify 95 respondents. Content validity and reliability of research instrument were examined using a panel of experts and Cronbach's alpha, respectively. Factor anlysis was employed to determine the strategies of sustainable agricultural development. Overall, results showed that strategies in the three categories including: enabling – e.g. supportive and extension practices, developing social capital, and encouraging institutional trust; and enforcing – e.g. establishing regulations and programs, agri-environmental scheme and labeling and information, and encouraging – e.g. providing non-agricultural knowledge services such as financial incentives key means for encouraging sustainable agriculture development in Iran.

An Investigation of science and technology parks in technology development in different countries show a positive impact on development is technology. Factors influencing on the development of technology parks can be considerable help in the creation of parks may be appropriate.The study purpose is identified strategies for improving agricultural technology development in science and technology parks. In terms of research paradigms, quantitative and in terms of direction and purpose, is applied Research. The statistical population is Agriculture and Natural Resources faculty members of Tehran University (200) and experts in Tehran University Science and Technology Park of (170). Using the Cochran formula, 90 faculty members and 60 experts estimated as sample size, and were selected using random sampling. Research instrument was two questionnaires, validity by a panel of Tehran university member’s were established. Reliability was established by Cronbach coefficient, the reliability of the faculty members questionnaire is 0.83 and for experts questionnaire is 0.92. Data by Spss software was both descriptive and inferential analysis. The results showed that the five key strategies to develop agricultural technologies in the Park is Administrative mechanisms to improve the park and support the development of innovative companies and individuals,Long-term policies and strategies to develop agricultural technologies, Development of agricultural markets, Foundation of knowledge and regional development agencies operating in the parks.

The main purpose of this study, was to determine most important strategies to improve implementation of promotional plan, named "Finding Transfer Facilitation" (FTF), and based on viewpoint of farmers in Kermanshah province. The statistical population consisted of farmers whose are looking for project manager in K. P. (72 members); the statistical population is studied by census method. The results of study showed among recommended strategies to improve implementation of promotional plan (FTF), guaranteed purchase of products covered by the plan of farmers (mean 4.15), to determine of product price based on quality (mean 4.04) and adaptation of content of program with time of implementation (mean 4.04) in order of have most important and to expand on agricultural farms and active cooperative companies in the plan (mean 3.15) and special projects to cover activities of rural and nomadic women (mean 3.22) have minimum important. The results of factor analysis showed that the most important strategies to improve implementation of FTF were economic (16.21%) and management (15.34%).
