This is while, despite significant improvements in the climatic information production in the last decade (Subbiah et al., 2004; Ziervogel et al., 2005; Hu et al., 2006; Artikov et al., 2006), farmers as focal decision makers of farm sys- tems and main users of uncertain Agricultural Climate Information (ACI), have not altered management decisions to take advantage of this type of information (Articov et al., 2006; Hu et al., 2006; Nazemos’sadat et al., 2006). The Iranian Wheat Growers’ Climate Information Use: An Actor-Network Theory Perspective Maryam Sharifzadeh, Yasouj University, Yasouj, Iran Gholam Hossein Zamani, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran Ezatollah Karami, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran Davar Khalili, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran Arthur Tatnall, Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia ABSTRACT This research project employed an interdisciplinary attempt to study agricultural climate information use, linking sociology of translation (actor-network theory) and actor analysis premises in a qualitative research design. The research method used case study approaches and purposively selected a sample consisting of wheat growers of the Fars province of Iran, who are known as contact farmers. Concepts from actor-network theory (ANT) have been found to provide a useful perspective on the description and analysis of the cases. The data were analyzed using a combination of an actor-network theory (ANT) framework and the dynamic actor-network analysis (DANA) model. The fndings revealed socio political (farmers’ awareness, motiva- tion, and trust), and information processing factors (accuracy of information, access to information, and correspondence of information to farmers’ condition) as the key elements in facilitating climate information use in farming practices.
