The research also relied on quantitative analysis to measure the extent of sustainability. Existing projects and their ability to achieve their goals through various statistical methods achieve the following results: It is clear from the economic evaluation of the projects that the use of integrated agricultural practices with the start of the project activities led to an improvement in indicators of the efficiency productive and economic of the crops grown compared to the use of traditional agricultural practices before the start of the project activities. as these indicators are (crop productivity - total costs - total revenues - Net profit - ratio of revenues to costs - standard return on invested pounds). Therefore. the research recommends increasing the number of existing agricultural projects in the New Valley Governorate. which help train farmers on modern technologies in order to achieve the best use of the resources available in the region and work to produce new strains of crops that adapt to the conditions of the region in order to increase productivity.
