The purpose of this research is to identify strategies for adapting extension trainings of rural cooperatives in Alborz province to the learning organization. This study was conducted based on mixed paradigm and using qualitative and quantitative methods. To collect data, face-to-face interview and brainstorming techniques were used in the qualitative part, and questionnaires were used in the quantitative part. The research participants in the qualitative part included 30 experts from rural cooperative companies using the snowball sampling method until the theoretical saturation of the data and in the quantitative part, 379 people were members of rural cooperatives. To identify the strategies of aligning the extension training with the learning organization strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities from the dimensions of shared vision, personal mastery, mental models, team learning and systems thinking in the form of three stages of open , axial and selective coding were identified. After identifying the internal and external factors, they were measured among the members of the cooperatives. Based on the results, the position of the cooperatives was placed in the third quarter, and the appropriate strategies for adapting the extension training to the learning organization, competitive strategies were determined. Using the quantitative strategic planning matrix, were prioritized, and action plane were presented to realize the desired strategies using brainstorming techniques and interviews. The planners of extension trainings of rural cooperatives can provide the necessary conditions for adapting the mentioned trainings to the functions of the learning organization, according to the strategies and action plane identified.

Proper presentation of information to meet the needs of rice farmers is possible through communication channels and various sources, and improving the process of obtaining information requires investigating the information seeking behavior of rice farmers. Identifying the factors influencing this information seeking behavior, such as information needs and extension training, is also very important. In this regard, this study aimed at investigating the impact of information needs and extension training on information seeking behavior of rice farmers in Sari County in 2021. The statistical population of study includes rice farmers of Sari County in Mazandaran Province (N=24502). According to Cochran formula, 273 rice farmers were selected as a statistical sample. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire. The questionnaire was divided into three main sections: participation in extension training, information needs, and information seeking behavior. The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts' opinions. Also, based on the Average Variance Extracted (0.501>AVE<0.617) and Composite Reliability (0.833>CR<0.935), the questionnaire had a convergent validity and appropriate reliability. SPSS16 and Smart PLS2 software were used to analyze the data. The results of structural equation modeling showed that information needs and participation in extension training had a positive and significant impact on information seeking behavior. Information needs and participation in extension training explained about 46 percent of variance of the information seeking behavior.

In the present study, an attempt was made to evaluate the effectiveness of model sites in Dehloran city using the Kirk Patrick model. For this purpose, two groups of individuals were selected as the study population. first group; Rapeseed farmers of Abbas plain, Mosian and Markazi of Dehloran city (N = 175) and the second group; Managers and experts were involved in the implementation of the canola model site. According to the findings, at the confidence level (99.), it can be claimed that according to the views of rapeseed site users, in both components, satisfaction with the site's training and satisfaction with the attitude of the trainers have had a favorable and satisfactory response. . Also, the results of analysis of variance showed that the difference in knowledge scores of rapeseed site users in the two stages before and after training is statistically significant (p> .01) and the level of awareness of site users in the post-training stage. It was more than before training. In addition, the results showed that the value of the third level (behavior) and the fourth level (results) is higher than the value of test 3 and at the confidence level (.95) it can be claimed that from the perspective of managers behavior and predetermined results This course has been completed. According to the results of the present study, planners and policy makers are suggested to develop and promote these sites and provide more support to them.

Familiarity of soybean producers with sustainable agriculture is one of the effective factors in the stability of their agricultural system. Soybean cultivation sustainability is a system that includes the usefulness of soybean cultivation through reducing soil erosion and improving its fertility, developing methods for effective use of internal resources of the farm, developing strategies to improve the quality of rural society and using methods with the least impact on environmental destruction. In this regard, this study aimed at investigating the impact of information sources and extension training on soybean cultivation sustainability in Neka County in 2020. The statistical population of study includes soybean farmers of Neka County in Mazandaran Province (N= 940). According to Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table, 275 soybean farmers were selected as a statistical sample. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire. The questionnaire was divided into three main sections: information sources, participation in extension training and soybean cultivation sustainability with a Likert scale. The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts' opinions. Also, based on the Average Variance Extracted (0.506>AVE< 0.551) and Composite Reliability (0.858>CR<0.909), the questionnaire had a convergent validity and appropriate reliability. SPSS16 and Smart PLS2 software were used to analyze the data. The results of structural equation modeling showed that participation in extension training and information sources had a positive and significant impact on soybean cultivation sustainability. Participating in extension training and information sources explained about 83 percent of variance of the soybean cultivation stability.

The main purpose of this study was factors affecting the improvement of technical knowledge of wheat farmers in relation to sustainable environmental operations. The statistical population of this study was consisted of all Khorramabad County were the central province in case study (N = 12500). Using Cochran's sampling formula, 240 of them were selected as a sample (N=240). The main instrument in this study was questionnaire which its validity was confirmed by the panel of experts and the reliability of it was also calculated by using a sequential alpha test and through software. Data were analyzed by SPSS18 software. The results of regression analysis showed Membership variables in Social capital, attitude towards sustainable environmental operations, level of education, number of extension calls and use of information resources have the greatest impact on improving the technical knowledge of antagonists. Also, the range of technical knowledge (cognitive, knowledge and skill) have a significant impact on the improvement of the sustainable environmental operations. So that they can predict 40% of variance of the dependent variable of the research (sustainable environmental operations).

The main purpose of this study was Effective factors on the level of technical knowledge of pomegranate producers in Markazi province.
