One of the most critical government programs in the public service ecosystem is supplying basic goods due to their essential role in providing people's basic needs. Wheat has a special place among a wide range of basic goods because it has a significant role in the economy of the producing countries. It is also considered the primary source of people's energy, directly or through various products derived from it. This research identifies the challenges of providing the basic goods of wheat in the country. For this purpose, the thematic analysis method identified six main challenges and 25 sub-challenges from related articles and reports. Then these challenges were prioritized using the DANP method. According to the findings, the main challenges, such as financing, international factors, managerial and organizational factors, stakeholders and consumers, technology and infrastructure, and legal and policymaking, have the most weight. Among the 25 sub-challenges, instability and increase in the exchange rate, adverse effects of international sanctions on the country, lack of inter-organizational coordination in determining the guaranteed purchase rate of wheat, significant production of bread waste in consumption, and wastage of wheat as a result of using old machinery in harvesting or storing wheat in sequence have the most weight.

Industrial revolutions during the last four centuries have changed all aspects of individual, organizational, and social life in the world. The fourth industrial revolution has blurred the border between the physical and digital worlds with its stunning technological advances, and the extent and depth of the changes caused by its technological transformations are evident in the entire production, management, and even governance systems. New information and communication technologies have had many impacts on the performance of public administration, both from the perspective of conducting internal operations of public organizations and providing public services to citizens. This study examines the role of new communication and information technologies in our country's public administration using the scientific study of science and actor-network theory. For this purpose, a group of actors dealing with new communication and information technologies in the public administration system is selected with the snowball method. The topics are explained during in-depth and semi-structured interviews.

Governance emphasizes the networking of multiple stakeholders who come together from different levels and with different goals. This combination of multiple stakeholders with different or sometimes conflicting goals and interests has become an important challenge in the governance network and has led to the emergence of the "meta-governance" theory. Meta-governance is the management of the balance of power by the government in the governance system to realize public value and service. Based on this theory, governments with a higher degree of citizen representation than other stakeholders involved in the negotiations and the exercise of will in the course of management of society, and as a representative of citizens, they protect the public value and service. In this study, using the meta-synthesis method, 19 scientific articles on meta-governance research from different specialized journals were reviewed in detail, and a total of 20 codes in the form of three categories of "the why, what, and how of meta-governance" were identified toward preserving and promoting public value and service.
