Given the important role of the agricultural sector in ensuring Iran's food security, it seems necessary to simultaneously focus on the quantity and quality of products. The study aimed at comparing the efficient production and standard production of energy and key nutrients in livestock and poultry sub-sectors of the country's provinces using data envelopment analysis method. The required information was collected from the Ministry of Agriculture-Jahad (MAJ), USDA database and the Statistical Center of Iran (SCI) in 2016. The results showed that the average technical efficiency of production in the provinces of the country was 90.8 percent and the average amounts of food security effectiveness in energy, protein, vitamin A, riboflavin, calcium and iron production were 93.9, 98.9, 88.2, 95.7, 59.9 and 99.8 percent, respectively. Also, the provinces were divided into three groups including efficient and effective, inefficient and effective, inefficient and ineffective. It is suggested that the production model of the provinces of the first group might be used as a model, taking into account the requirements of other provinces; in addition, in the provinces of the second group, the composition of production could be changed in such a way that the effectiveness of food security would be achieved in ineffective factors (mainly, calcium and vitamin A); finally, in the provinces of the third group, the strategies leading to improved technical efficiency should be used.

Animal husbandry, as one of the main subsectors of the agricultural sector agricultural sectors, is heavily dependent on credit and investment. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of agricultural bank credit in the boom of livestock activities in the Ghorqori district of the city of Hirmand. The statistical population of the study consisted of all farmers in the Ghorgori section (N = 135) who received loans from Agricultural Bank of Hirmand in 2013. Using a simple random sampling method, 100 questionnaires were distributed among them. Validity of the questionnaire was calculated using expert's opinions and the reliability of the instrument was calculated using Cronbach's alpha in the range of 0.79-0.95. The results showed that obtaining loan had positive effects on income, production, investment, self-confidence, mechanization and resource management but had no effect on employment and risk aversion. It is suggested that in addition to granting loans, government policies should be set up to direct agricultural credit to increase employment in the subsector.

Livestock industry, one of the most important sub-sectors of agricultural sector, produces the basic foods including milk and meat that must be increase to meet the demand and exporting excess demand. Due to the semi-competitive nature of input and output markets of livestock products, one of the ways to increasing production and profit is increasing the efficiency of production units. The aim of this study is evaluating the technical and environmental efficiencies of dairy farms using Stochastic Frontier Analysis in Sarab County. Required data collected using simple random sampling and completing 51 questionnaires at year 1394. According to the results of Stochastic Frontier Analysis average technical and environmental efficiencies averaging 95% and 72%, respectively. For comparing the difference between the average technical and environmental efficiency, Kruskal-Wallis test used that the result confirms the significant difference between the average efficiencies. Given the significant differences between the technical and environmental efficiencies, it is suggesting that environmental issues to be considered in the estimation of the efficiency of production units.

Understanding of government policies and categorizing and prioritizing them in order to perform accurate them is essential. Hence, in order to achieve optimal production conditions should take suitable supporting policies for agriculture sector. This study is to assess sector consumer supporting policy of livestock and poultry sub-sector during the first to fourth program during 1989-2009 by MPS and CSE indices by using of OECD approach. The results show that for livestock and poultry sub-sector, CSE in nominal value change form -163.06 Bil Rials in 1999 to -78998.43 Bil Rials in 2009. Also, in real value change form -3197.41 Bil Rials in 1999 to -39179.9 Bil Rials in 2009 (about 12 times). Most supporting is allocated during 2end development program to livestock and poultry sub-sector that is 10223.05 Bil Rials. Results of demand model shows that livestock and poultry consumer supporting policy have had a variety effect on demand. So, consumer supporting policy has negative effect on beef and lamb (-0.13 and -0.08). But due to consumer supporting policy, chicken and specially milk demand, have increased (0.25 and 0.43). It seems that according to quantity and direction of consumer supporting policy effect on demand, we could use it for determination of suitable direction of consumer supporting policy.

Recognizing opportunities is an essential component in entrepreneurship and its process. In many definitions of entrepreneurship, it is significantly focused on opportunity recognition as an important step in entrepreneurship development. Also ability to find opportunities is one of the entrepreneur’s characteristics that entrepreneurship process may not be possible without that. Accordingly, much of entrepreneurship studies and literature devoted to this topic and opportunity recognition has become one of the threads engaging in entrepreneurship research. Agriculture and its sub sectors like livestock production is one of the economic sector that entrepreneurs paid less attention to it, during last decades, because of urban growth based on industrial production. On this basis and because of the long history of farming activities in the country, this research focused on entrepreneurship opportunities related to livestock production and services based on the capacities in Kermanshah province. Based on the survey findings through qualitative methodologies with 36 participants, Entrepreneurial opportunities in livestock sub sectors were classified into 18 categories like Fattening cattle, dairy cattle breeding, animal feed production, livestock production, organic livestock production, leather goods, silk worm breeding, production and sales of livestock and poultry, production of honey products. After that, based on participants’ point of view, best business opportunities in each category were found by considering capital, demand and market trends.

In this study multi criteria decision making and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) were used to identify the preferred utilization system in the rangelands of Ardebil Province according to economic، social and ecological criteria. In this respect ten rangeland experts expressed their preference and priorities. Results showed that private utilization system with weight equal to 0. 534 was first and traditional utilization system with weight of 0. 234 was second and state system with 0. 230 was third in priority ranking. On this basis extending private utilization system was recommended.

In the process of growth and developments of human’s societies, different forms of capital have contribution and role. In this paper relation between capitals of social, human and physical with value crops and livestock in sector rural Isfahan has been studied. The question this essay is, whether with change in the three forms of social capital, human and physical, the value of crops and livestock to be change? Method of study is survey and for collect data has been used of questionnaire and size sample was 737 people of sector rural Isfahan province in 2009. For analyze the research model, using regression analysis techniques that this model is considered to social capital, human capital and physical capital model as independent variables and the total value of agricultural and livestock products as the dependent variable model. The square multiple correlation coefficient equal 0.27 which means equal 0.27 percent of variance explained by variables dependent model in research community and remaining 73 percent by other factors and variables must be established. The variable physical capital has the most contribution and variables social capital and human capital respectively have later contribution.

In this study, in order to investigate measures of feed crops supply during Iran fourth program of development, the Nerlove partial adjustment model and system equations estimated by seemingly unrelated regression method were applied to time-series data of 1989- 2004. Results showed that compensation of animal protein shortage require providing inputs and production factors, i.e. agricultural sector products, which should be prepared from internal production or import. Based on the results, current flow of import and production of these crops did not compensate shortage of animal protein at the end of the program, unless by applying mentioned approaches, increasing productivity, making use of modern production methods, employing experts and educated labors, etc. Yield of production would be increased and this gap would be filled.
