Description Conservation agriculture (CA) has been promoted worldwide as
an approach to sustainable resource management and better
productivity. Promotion and adoption of CA in Iran have been
receiving increased attention from the national government over
recent years. Therefore, to speed up development of CA as a basis
for sustainable development, drivers that influence the development
of CA need to be identified and modeled. The main aim of
this study is to present a comprehensive model for CA development
in Iran by identifying the institutional drivers that influence
its promotion and determining the relationship between drivers.
At first, the drivers identified from the literature and interviews
with experts, and the relationships among the drivers were
explored and clarified using Interpretative Structural Modeling
(ISM). A cross-impact matrix multiplication was applied to classification
(MICMAC) analysis, which was then used to categorize
the drivers in four sub-groups. The results showed that creating
a suitable organizational structure is a very significant driving
factor for CA development in Iran. Strong driving power and
weak dependence associated with this factor should be treated
as a critical driver. If CA shall expand more rapidly in future, then
Iran’s government should invest in an appropriate organizational
structure for it.
