Abstract
Today, all over the word, we see the scientists, thinkers, politicians, consumers, producers and ecologists (who support the environment) pretest against the method of agriculture, Because trying to increase the crop outcome to its maximum rate for Hectare through the irregular use of chemical input in industrial agriculture lead to a disaster in human life which will endanger the whole life on the earth in future. Therefore, the general purpose of this research is the analysis of effective factors on not accepting organic agriculture. This research is an applied one and the method used is descriptive and is a survey. The statistical population includes all the agricultural exports who work in Jihad keshavarzi of Alborz province (N=110). Based on Morgan table we selected 100 people as the sample. the tool of research is a Questionnaire whose content & surface validity was approved by the professors of Tehran university and its reliability was verified by doing a guide study of Cranach’s Alpha (between 0.71 and 0.78). In order to analyze the data, SPSS was used. The results of the research show that most of the agriculture experts have positive Attitude toward the organic agriculture (62 %) and they believe that it is necessary for the realization of sustainable development in agriculture. From the experts' point of view, the most important reasons for not accept organic agriculture include: making no distinction between organic products and other products, inability in producing ideal production if the fertilizers aren't used, inability in controlling weeds and pests when pesticides are not used and the lack of farmers level of education.
