Abstract
Sustainable utilization of wheat system depends on many factors such as ecological, economic, and social factors which recognition of these factors could play a role in the formulation of policies and strategies for sustainable agriculture. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the sustainability of wheat cultivation system in the county is Showt .The statistical populations of this survey are the wheat cultivators of Showt County, West Azerbaijan involving 2,000 people.

The results of analysis of variance showed that 18% of the variance factors affecting the sustainability of cropping system were explained by variable farming, sustainable agricultural knowledge, the impact of class, education and promotion and membership in the cooperative firms .Finally, according to the research results, practical suggestions are provided.
