Monitoring and evaluating adaptation policies can have various functions, including identifying and understanding the need for intervention, facilitating the design of new adaptation policies, or justifying budget allocation. The purpose of this study was to analyze climate change adaptation policies in agriculture. For this purpose, a Multi-criteria analysis approach was used. Data collection was done using a questionnaire consisting of 86 adaptation policies in 5 categories including financial and credit policies, research, planning and technology, infrastructure and conservation of water and soil resources, training and extension, and Institutional policies. Criteria of effectiveness, urgency, efficiency, power, side effects, equity, flexibility, organizational legitimacy, and feasibility were used for evaluation. Samples selected, using purposive sampling. Visual PROMETHEE software used to analyze the data. Results showed that the effectiveness criterion was the most important criterion. Among the financial and credit policies "provide low-interest facilities to prioritize the pattern of optimal national and regional cultivation" was the most important policy. "Planning to integrate native and modern agricultural knowledge to introduce new options for adaptation or climate change", "installing smart water meter on agricultural water wells”, and "reviewing the process of submitting surface and groundwater harvesting permits" were the most important policies among “research, planning and technology”, “infrastructure policies” and “institutional policies” categories, respectively.
