چکیده

The purpose of this study is to develop a model for knowledge management of Iranian pistachios based on the Knowledge Management for Development (KM4D) model. The knowledge of farmers and new scientific knowledge are complementary in terms of strengths and weaknesses. By combining the two, one can achieve the success that would not be achievable by using them on an individual basis of two. The present study is an exploratory mixed study. A study was designed based on the combination of library studies, documentation, and exploratory mixed studies to form a cross-sectional study in terms of data analysis and processing method, and correlational research. The statistical population of the research is divided into two parts: the qualitative section which includes 7 people and the quantitative part which includes 149 farmers, experts, specialists and experts in pistachio agriculture, and horticulture. Simple random selections are selected. To analyze the data in the qualitative part, the grounded theory method based on the KM4D model has been used. The quantitative part based on descriptive statistical analysis using SPSS software version 23 to generate relevant graphs, mean, median, and frequency table. Implementing knowledge management in agricultural organizations has a significant role in improving pistachio agriculture and horticulture development. It will result in reducing costs, increasing quality, innovation, and continuous improvement. The current study has presented a new model in knowledge management of Iranian pistachios agriculture, which will benefit from the quantitative and qualitative development of this agricultural product. The main application of this study is to increase added value of farmer's products.
