The increase in population and the increasing human needs for food and various resources have forced humans to rely more on nature and its resources. This increasing exploitation has disrupted the balance between humans and nature. In the meantime, humans have tried to increase the production and productivity of resources by utilizing their abilities and using technology. However, excessive and unsustainable exploitation of resources over time has led to their destruction and depletion. In such circumstances, economics has tried to provide solutions that enable the optimal use of limited and scarce resources. This approach can guide human behavior towards rational use and maximum exploitation of resources at minimal cost. The present study, with a future-oriented perspective, has examined the feasibility of creating a balance between environmental, economic, and social concerns arising from agricultural activities. The overall objective of this research is to optimize the management of agricultural land use in Harand County, and its three main axes are: minimizing environmental degradation, maximizing the economic income of farmers in the region, and increasing rural employment capacity in the region. This applied research was conducted using tools such as questionnaires and interviews with expert farmers and experts in the agricultural Jihad of the region. Therefore, first, the required data was collected through expert farmers' responses to questionnaires and interviews with relevant experts in the 1402-1403 crop year. This information was then analyzed and processed using Gams software. In the next step, a balance between economic, social, and environmental components was eva‎luated through mathematical programming methods, and in particular game theory. In this regard, variables such as income, employment, and the amount of chemical fertilizers consumed were examined. The results showed that in conditions of creating economic, environmental, and social balance compared to the current conditions, in addition to increasing the economic benefits of farmers, the environmental and social benefits of society will also improve. Therefore, based on the results of this study, to create a sustainable balance in the use of agricultural lands in Harand County, emphasis was placed on increasing the interventions of various stakeholders, including agricultural organizations, environmental associations, and social non-governmental organizations, when developing a crop cultivation pattern.
