A Passage on the Reading of Sustainable Food Security from the Perspective of Stakeholders in Garden House System (Case Study: Garden House in Zanjan City)

Food has become one of the most prominent features of the transformation of food consumption against the background of rapid urbanization in the world. With this approach, the present article tries to highlight the safety of food production in the garden house system in Iranian cities, which the quality of supply and demand can threaten or guarantee the life of the society in the direction of sustainability. The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. The current research was cross-sectional in terms of time domain (July 2022). The statistical population included the beneficiaries (owners) of garden house named Khanebagh in Persian. According to the purpose, the sample size was 35 households (according to the conditions of cooperation). In this research, the research indicators have been evaluated using SPSS and SMART PLS software. The results of the path analysis show that the less efficient marketing and sale of agricultural products are one of the limitations facing the beneficiaries of the garden houses. Considering the leverage of the household's financial power, promoting production-oriented production along with entertainment by changing the individual management of the parts to the joint management in order to increase production, single-crop cultivation for a more economical use of the garden (for example, only apples or only grapes); Using the capabilities of agriculture graduates by using the knowledge and skills of agricultural specialists to make these gardens profitable, using water engineers to properly implement pressurized irrigation systems in order to reduce water wastage are some of the proposed research solutions for the food security of gardens. Also, behavioral strategies, especially due to the traditional structure of Iran's agriculture, can create grounds for more participation of farmers in the emergence of cooperative behaviors such as water and soil protection behavior.
