The history of scince has been the scene of challeges with these theories which looked quite obvious at the first glance. Considering Iranian agriculture as a PRIMITIVE phonomenon is among those assumptions that should be debated.This article is firstly concerned with the backgournd of this assumption and its literature during recent 400 years since Jean Chardin till P.Petroshevsky, A.K.S. Lambton, Wolf, and ideas of Iranian reserchers and experts; then through a logical reasoning and with the aid of historical, anthropological and sustainable agricultural theories it tries to cast a serious criticism on this assumption.In the end, the author investigates the theoretical and practical virtues of such arguments and simultaneously reminds that posing such discussions is not at the aim of denying or even neglecting the western science and particularly industerial agriclutre. On the countrary, separating agricultural science from our thousands year legacy is one of those strategies through which western systems try to attain their commercial goals.To understand traditional agriculture, will surely make our researchers interested in thinking of strategies and experiences of Iranian traditional agriculture and also that of other old-cultured countries such as Egypt, China and India.In this regard, we hope that we can make great progresses in both sustaniable agricultural development and protecting our invrionme.
