      abstract = {Energy subsidies matter, because they affect the economy,  social welfare and the environment—the three dimensions of  sustainability. Approval and enforcement of Targeted  Subsidies Law (TSL) by Iranian government in 2010 have been  considered as one of the most important economic events in  the last few decades. The most important aspect of this law  is reforming subsidies and rising prices of energy carriers  in different parts of the economy. Article 1 of the law  emphasis on adjusting of energy carries prices during the  future years, gradually. Like other sectors, the  agricultural and rural sector will be influenced by these  changes. It is expected that implementing the law  strengthen sustainable development through the efficient  use of the resources and by improving the environment in  agricultural and rural sector. This study tries to assess  and analysis the effects of the law on environment,  especially in the agricultural sector, in Iran. The results  indicate that, in some cases, enforcing the law causes a 30  percent decrease in energy carries in Iranian agricultural  sector.},
