Agricultural Governance

Governance involves interaction between the formal institutions and those in civil society. Since agriculture is one of the most promising instruments for reducing poverty and securing local livelihoods, in this research, we first use the Meta-synthesis method to find the important factors of agricultural governance worldwide. We have some experts for ranking the variables worldwide by using the Shanon Entropy method. These experts weigh the variables by a pairwise comparison matrix of the Type-2 Fuzzy method. The results of the Meta-synthesis model show that agricultural share of GDP, Mechanization and technology, group participation have the highest importance and rank. However, the Type-2 Fuzzy analysis the factors of agricultural sustainability, group participation have the highest weight in the political, social and environmental areas and the factors of increase production, and marketing have the highest weight in the economic area. The results show, there is a common variable (group participation) in both methods.
