This study was conducted with the aim of presenting a model for formulating sustainable agricultural development policies (a case study of the greenhouse cultivation industry in Hamedan Province). In terms of purpose, the present research is applied; in terms of data collection, it is descriptive–exploratory; with respect to the logic of inference, it follows an inductive–deductive research approach; and in terms of nature, it is qualitative. In estimating the size of the first statistical population (the academic community), through examination and review of the Planning Deputy of the Agricultural Jihad Organization, the Agricultural Research Center, and university systems, a list of faculty members who collaborated with the greenhouse cultivation industry was used for data collection, and themes were identified and refined through thematic analysis. The primary data collection instrument in this research was interviews. To enhance accuracy, the coding process and aggregation of themes were supported using MAXQDA software, and through repeated reviews, overlaps were reduced and thematic boundaries were clearly delineated. The findings indicated that 86 themes were extracted from the interviews, which were categorized into five levels and nine main components, including the role of exploitation, geographical factors, government policymaking, influential internal and external environmental factors, economic factors, cultural factors, social factors, and technical factors.</p> https://www.journalrmde.com/index.php/jrmde/article/download/250/254
