Analysis of technical efficiency of broiler production farms is necessary for optimal and economical use of available resources. The aim of this study was to measure and compare the technical efficiency of broiler production farms in Birjand and Darmian counties. The sample size was determined using Cochran's formula and the required data collected by completing a questionnaire from 201 active meat poultry units in Birjand and Darmian counties by random sampling method. Comprehensive Data Analysis (DEA) method used to analyze the data. The results showed that the average technical efficiency of poultry farmers in Birjand and Darmian counties was 93 and 88%, respectively, assuming a fixed return to the scale, and 95 and 93%, respectively, assuming variable returns to the scale, which is a statistically significant difference(p<0/05). Also, the capacity to improve production and efficiency in poultry farms in Darmian county is more than Birjand county and is estimated to be 11.7 and 7%, respectively. The average scale efficiency and technical efficiency (in both fixed and variable returns) of poultry units in Birjand county is more than Darmian county, which on the one hand indicates better management of resource use in poultry units of Birjand and on the other hand shows the potential to increase production and efficiency of poultry units in darmian. Therefore, without changing the production technology and by promoting technical and managerial factors from the most efficient poultry units to low efficiency poultry units, the gap between broiler poultry units in Darmian and Birjand can be reduced.

Dust storms known as 120-day winds in Sistan have caused the largest dust center in Nimroz city and the villagers with many problems in the field of economic, social, environmental, health and livelihoods have encountered. Therefore, the goal of this study is to investigate the economic effects of dust on the livelihood of villagers in Nimroz. The statistical population of the study was 895 households that based on krejcie and Morgan table, the number of statistical samples of 318 people was selected by cluster sampling and then using structural equation SMART PLS software and the data is analyzed. The results of the questionnaire data showed that economic analysis by a factor of 0/5 is most effective on rural livelihoods. Statements of this variable include the effect of dust on production costs in the agricultural sector with a coefficient of 0.79 has the greatest impact on the economic sector, followed by a decrease in rural incomes by a coefficient of 0.87, a decrease in land prices by a coefficient of 0/ 78, the amount of crop and garden production with a coefficient of 0.77 and finally agricultural investment with a coefficient of 0.55. Considering the greatest impact of dust on production costs in the agricultural sector, it is suggested that the government should put natural and unnatural preventive measures on the agenda to reduce dust, and also provide financial and non-financial support to farmers to help reduce the production costs of this sector.

One of the most important criteria for measuring the degree of development of a country is the level of women's activity in the country. Ultimately lead to increasing and improving productivity in agriculture and thus increasing the welfare and comfort of rural society. This study compares the activities of women in the plains and foothills with emphasis on sustainable rural livelihoods in the villages of Hatkeh Savadkuh and Bishehsar in Ghaemshahr. The research method was descriptive and analytical and applied and based on Cochran's formula, 331 researcher-made questionnaires were completed from rural households and analyzed using Friedman, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests. The results show that in the field of hairdressing jobs, staffing, labor and stay in the village, sudden seasonal losses, school-related meetings and participation in village elections have become quite significant. The difference in income and area under cultivation and rice production is quite significant, but in income and area under cultivation and production of citrus and vegetables is not significant. In the field of livestock activities, there is a significant difference between the income from the sale of milk and livestock. Therefore, raising the level of education and awareness, creating and strengthening rural women's organizations, especially in the form of cooperatives and women's associations, is recommended for better exploitation and promotion of women's status.
