Abstract

Resistance economy is the main strategy of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the axis of resistance against intentional and unintentional economic fluctuations in the world setting. Like other areas of Jihad and resistance, the resistance economy is formed and will remain stable by relying on the people. The first step in realizing this is to identify the capacities and improve the management of their intelligent exploitation. One of the most important economic capacities of the country is the agricultural sector, which can play a key role in promoting the national economy and accomplishing the resistance economy. Since the agricultural sector possesses all the components of a resistance economy, this sector is considered the most popular economic sector in Iran. As well, it is responsible for the food security of the people and constitutes the basis of health security. Given the important attributes of the agricultural sector, it can be the core of the realization of the resistance economy. In this regard, the present study describes the topics of resistance economy and then the agricultural sector as one of the effective sub-sectors in the realization of the resistance economy and uses policy research and case study (document and library study) to explore the significance of the agricultural sector in accomplishing the goals of the resistance economy and to present some approaches. The results show the significance of paying more attention to investment in this sector as an alternative for oil revenue. The investment should be made in all of its aspects, from the research sector to the support of producers and the motivation of internal investors towards production enhancement.
