According to the public relations and information center of the Vice-Presidency for science and technology affairs, support of researchers, technologists and innovators of various scientific fields is an activity that helps the development of each field, thereby progressing the overall condition of the country. Meanwhile, agriculture is an important field in any country since it supplies the food safety of each society. Support of technologists and innovators of this field by entering new ideas and creativities will facilitate the activities of this field. The working group of agriculture and natural resources of the Iranian national science foundation is a part that supports the research projects of researchers. On the last meeting of this working group, 14 research projects and four post-doctoral projects were assessed and eight projects were approved for support. These projects are mainly in fields of forestry, watershed management, fishery, agriculture and phytochemistry. However, each project must have an achievement in the end, including publication of research articles, device or software production, patent registration and holding educational workshops.

This working group focuses on research projects that motivate the production of agricultural products by relying on domestic talents. Therefore, the necessary approvals are obtained by this working group to achieve the goals of the field and benefit from the water, soil and agricultural lands in an effective manner.
