Abstract

Healthy agriculture plays an essential role in sustainable development and the development of organic farming. The global population is growing, which has kept pace with the growing need for food.
The statistical population of farmers in Lenjan city is that the number of households in the selected villages is N = 4414 people and using Cochran's formula and Morgan table, the sample size of 353 people was calculated and stratified sampling method was used in this study. The analysis of regression shows that in the first step the economic variable entered the equation that the coefficient of determination for this variable was 0.592 (R2 = 0.592) that the numerical value of the coefficient of determination indicates that about 59% of the factors affecting the production of products Healthy food security in Lenjan city has been caused by the impact of economic factors. In the second step, the cognitive-educational variable was entered into the equation, which together with the previous variable explained 75.10% in identifying the factors affecting the production of healthy products and food security, and in the third step, the standard variable of production was included in the equation. Percentage of effective factors and in the fourth, fifth and sixth steps, institutional variables, agricultural and socio-cultural inputs were entered into the equation, respectively. After entering the seventh variable, the operation was stopped. In total, six factors as independent variables (97.40 (R2 = 0.974)) predict the percentage of changes in the variables of effective components in the production of healthy products and food security in Lenjan city.
