In this research, the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of recognizing entrepreneurial opportunities were identified based on theoretical foundations, and finally, using the opinion of 30 experts, it was monitored using the fuzzy Delphi method, and strategies for recognizing entrepreneurial opportunities were extracted. And after finalizing the strategies and giving them coefficient and weight with SPSS software, they were evaluated and ranked through the process of hierarchical analysis with the help of Expert Choice 11 software.

Based on the SWOT analysis, the elements of the entrepreneurial opportunity recognition model were identified and after examining the twenty strategies, using the hierarchical analysis technique, the model elements were ranked and analyzed. The findings showed that agricultural knowledge-based businesses play a key role in creating and developing a knowledge-based economy, and economic growth and job creation are realized in accordance with the capacity of innovation and recognition of opportunities.Originality.
