Abstract
The cultivation and gardening are one of the most important sub-sectors of agriculture, which accounts for 71% of the added value of the agricultural sector and a huge part of agricultural production is related to this sub-sector. In the country of Iran, during different decades after the revolution, there have been various issues in front of the development of cultivation and gardening, which have prevented the realization of the country's goals in the field of cultivation and gardening. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify and prioritize the strategic issues of agriculture and horticulture in the country. The research method of the present study is descriptive-survey, and document studies and interviews with experts in cultivation and gardening through questionnaires were used to collect data. Then, by analyzing the results of questionnaires with the help of fuzzy Delphi technique and using Excel software, agriculture and horticulture issues in four areas of government (governance system), university (science system), industry (production system) and the market (consumption system) is categorized. The results of the research show that most of the problems under the cultivation and gardening sector lie in the industry sector in terms of the number of problems, and then they are related to the government, market and university fields respectively. The most important issue of agriculture and horticulture in the field of industry ((low productivity)), in the field of government ((absence of a long-term strategy for agriculture and horticulture)), in the field of market ((high amount of waste of agricultural and horticultural products)) and in the university field is ((low attention to the commercialization of research findings in this sector)).
