Sahel Devletleri İttifakı'nın Tarım Politikası Zorlukları ve Gıda Güvenliği: Bölgeler Arası Perspektiften İçgörüler

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Sahel Devletlerindeki (Mali, Nijer ve Burkina Faso) tarım politikası zorluklarını ve bunların gıda güvenliği ve bölgesel kalkınma üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. Çalışma, Sahel Devletleri İttifakı'nın sürdürülebilir tarım ve kırsal kalkınmaya katkılarını siyasi, ekonomik, çevresel ve sosyal merceklerden değerlendirmektedir. İttifakın önemli tarımsal potansiyele rağmen düşük verimlilik, sınırlı teknoloji, zayıf altyapı, yetersiz eğitim ve iklim değişikliği gibi sorunlar devam etmektedir. Çalışma, verimliliği artıran, sürdürülebilir uygulamaları teşvik eden ve küçük ölçekli çiftçileri destekleyen politikalara duyulan ihtiyacı vurgulamaktadır. Bu çabalar, bölgenin tarımsal potansiyelinin ortaya çıkarılması ve uzun vadeli dayanıklılık ve gıda güvenliğinin sağlanması için son derece önemlidir.

Alliance of Sahel States’ Agricultural Policy Challenges and Food Security: Insights from an Intra-Regional Perspective

Abstract

This study investigates the agricultural policy challenges facing the Sahel States Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso and their implications for food security and regional development. It assesses the contributions of the Alliance of Sahel States to sustainable agriculture and rural development through political, economic, environmental, and social perspectives. Despite the region's considerable agricultural potential, obstacles such as low productivity, limited technological advancements, inadequate infrastructure, insufficient training, and the impacts of climate change continue to hinder progress. The study underscores the necessity for policies that enhance productivity, promote sustainable practices, and provide support for small-scale farmers. These initiatives are vital for unlocking the region's agricultural potential and ensuring long-term resilience and food security.
