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.
 
Extended Abstract
1-Introduction
Providing food for a growing population while minimizing environmental impacts has become a key issue in the current sustainability debate. This is especially true in the Mediterranean and Middle East regions, which are characterized by scarce natural resources and increased climate-related impacts. In this regard, at the international level, the importance of urban agriculture is increasing day by day, and many countries are attracting the participation of citizens and institutionalizing urban agriculture by implementing innovative and innovative programs as well as various educational and information methods. In Iran, in the perspective of the 20-year document in the general policies of Iran, the five-year development plans and the constitution, food safety and health have a special place. Therefore, the purpose of the research, based on the previous discussions, is the beginning of a way to answer the question of how food security is interpreted from the perspective of stakeholders in the garden house system with the right to food approach.
 
2-Materials and Methods
The present research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. The present research was cross-sectional in terms of time domain (July 2018). The tool of observation card and interview through a structured questionnaire) has been established. The statistical population of the research included the beneficiaries of garden house and included the households of the owner of garden city. According to the purpose of the research, the sample size was 35 available households and with suitable cooperation conditions in the collection Garden house was selected. The sampling method in this research was based on simple probability and random sampling. In this research, the research indicators were evaluated using SPSS and Lisrel software.
3- Results and Discussion
According to the results, it can be said that almost 82% of the people were between the ages of 30 and 60 years. Results show the final effect of the age variable with one year increase in the age of the farmers, the possibility of changing land use will decrease by 10%, because younger people change the use of most of the land inherited from their fathers. But older people have a lot of bias towards their agricultural and garden lands. Therefore, the changes and developments in the garden house system can have a direct correlation with the age group of the present research. Also, according to the output of indicators such as respecting the norms and values ​​of the country's agricultural system (average 4.00) and creativity in using agricultural infrastructure (average 4.13); access to financial resources for farmers (average 4/07); food safety (average 4.23); and creating efficiency in the consumption pattern, reducing dependence on imported foods (average 4.03) have scored the highest points; Also, from the point of view of stakeholders, in order to strengthen food security, factors such as the share of food consumption expenses; Financial corruption and promotion of the spirit of helping one's fellow man in emergency situations and sanctions did not have much effect from the point of view of the statistical community and were excluded from the selection process. The results of path analysis also showed that all relationships are significant. In this regard, the greatest impact is related to the structure of financial power with an influence coefficient of 0.565 and a significance level of 0.000, and the structure of adjusting consumption behaviors with a coefficient of 0.471 and a significance level of 0.000, and endogeneity and food security with a coefficient of 0.429. And the significance level is 0.000, the availability of food with a coefficient of 0.328 and a significance level of 0.000.
 4- Conclusion
The results of the research showed that the financial capacity of the beneficiaries of garden house is one of the most important drivers affecting food security; According to the researches, the economic problems and limitations that the urban agricultural system faces in the financial field, mostly the agricultural credits are almost not in the hands of the urban farmers. The less efficient marketing and sale of agricultural products, which is limited by limitations such as the poor condition of communication media, land limitations, competition for water and numerous taxes and inappropriate income are faced and these restrictions are the products imported from other countries, the high cost of production and the lack of support for farmers' production by the government and the low price of products for the development of agricultural activities. In the next place, consumption behavior is something that should be taken into consideration from the point of view of stakeholders in food security. Behavioral strategies, especially due to the traditional construction of Iran's agriculture, can create grounds for greater participation of farmers in the emergence of cooperative behaviors such as water conservation, water saving, etc., in solving the water problem.
