In order to study the efficiency resulting from optimization of energy consumptionin organic farming, the amount of consumption and production inputs and their costs, obtained profit, cultivated area and … was estimated in conjuction with the three crop of wheat, canola and tomato in Iran over a five year period 2006-2011. Using the objective function and constraints, the DEA method was used to analyze the data. All the processes of models estimation was performed using DEAP software. To calculate the energy amount in external inputs consumption in conventional and organic farming were used coefficients to convert the amount of energy input consumption, too. Finally, the energy consumptions were compared in the two cultures. According to these results, the use of organic fertilizers and biological inputs (in consequence of more energy consumption in organic specific inputs) leads to lower productivity growth in organic products. These results were significant in the 5 and 1 percent levels, respectively. Due to the type of used inputs in the inorganic products, in fuel inputs, nitrogen fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer, insecticide and fungicide, inorganic products had more consumption and hence the amount of energy inputs for organic products was higher. In the case of biofertilizer and biocontrol were also used in organic production, input energy in this part was more than input energy of inorganic products. Organic farms with lower energy consumption of imports and inputs, led to production of more energy in output. Thus the efficiency besides saving of energy consumption occurred in organic products.

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of processing industries on reducing agricultural products’ wastes. A causal- comparative research method was used for this purpose. According to experts’ opinions, two villages (with & without processing industries) were selected. Sample size was determined as 330 ones using Krejcie and Morgan table and stratified sampling with proportional allocation. A research-made questionnaire was used to collect datawhich itsvalidity was confirmed by experts’ view and its reliability measured by calculating Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The result of the research showed that agricultural products’ wastes in village with processing industries are less than it in village without processing industries. Other results showed that post-harvest wastes have reduced two percent because of processing industries. Furthermore, storing and preserving wastes have reduced 6. 67 percent due to processing industries. Moreover, agricultural food processing wastes have diminished 11. 67 percent. Finally, these industries cut down 23 percent of transiting and distributing agricultural wastes. According to the results of this study, the most effect of processing industries on reducing agricultural products’ wastes was in transiting and distributing stage and the least effect was in post-harvest stage.

The aim of this research was to assess socio-economic impacts of Henna culture in rural regions of Mohammad-Abad Township of Ghalehganj County. Thus, a causal- comparative research method was used in this study. To select research sample, at first 20 villages were selected as the main Henna growing areas. Then, Numerical Taxonomy technique was used to select homogenous regions between them. In this study, farmers were divided into three groups i.e. Henna growers, non-Henna growers in villages with Henna growing and non-Henna growers in villages without Henna growing. Research population included 1241 farmers that about 298 ones of them were selected as research sample using Kerjecie and Morgan random sampling table and stratified random sampling technique. Also, a researcher designed questionnaire was used to collect data which its validity was verified using face validity procedure and its reliability was either verified calculating Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient (from 0.63 to 0.93). The comparison of current situation of socio economic criteria between the supposed groups showed that Henna growers have a better socio- economic status. To ensure that if this difference is the result of Henna growing, Covariance analysis was used. Final results also verified that Henna growing have had statistically significant and positive effects on socio- economic status of the respondents.

In order to identify different agricultural services, by correlation-descriptive method, the present study attempts to prioritize demands of villagers for agricultural services, determine the role of effective factors on serving villagers through discriminant analysis and compute correlation between demands of agricultural services with education services through Spearman's Coefficient in Guilan Agricultural Jihad centers. The results showed that the five demands of services which had the priority were related to applicants of agricultural machines, draft discussion for fertilizer, facilities for livestock and poultry units, quota of fuel for agricultural machines and agricultural units and demands related to rice agronomy. In addition,educational services had a positive correlation with educational needs of villagers and staff factor enjoyed more important role in compare with human resource factor, equipment and rural coordination to offer services. Regarding that priorities in service demands from the centers requires providing credits, cooperation to establish local funds to provide agricultural machines which is the first demands of villagers and agreeing with collective ownership of these agricultural instruments are proper options so that the fund could be effective to provide other inputs and credits.
