The ten-thousand-year history of our country, Iran, indicates the interaction between the village and agriculture in different dimensions. Agriculture has a fundamental and decisive role in the destiny of the rural society of Iran and it cannot be expected to achieve sustainable development without having a stable and logical solution for agriculture. Due to existing challenges, it cannot have the possible effect on rural development. This article aims to organize the capabilities of the agricultural sector in order to have a greater impact on rural development in search of the most important agricultural factors affecting the rural development of the region. in this study, the research method is applied and based on its nature, is descriptive-analytical, and two documentary methods based on library studies and field method based on questionnaires were used to collect information, and for this purpose, 358 people from rural households and 234 people from the farmers of the village were randomly questioned. To determine the reliability of the first questionnaire, the number of 30 questionnaires among the villagers and farmers of Sahne District was calculated and its Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated and the result was about 0.85. Factor analysis and regression analysis methods have been used to analyze the data. As a result, 5 factors were identified as the explanatory factors of agriculture. Examining the relationship between the five factors and rural indicators showed that most of the factors extracted in the two sections are related.
