From a Forbidden Plant to a Potential Treasure: Analysis of Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L. hemp) Cultivation in Samsun, Amasya and Tokat Provinces by Best-Worst Method

Abstract

Cannabis, which was cultivated with the discovery of agriculture in the Neolithic period and has an extremely important share in the development of civilizations, can be used in many areas with its rich fiber content, but it is the most suspicious plant in the world due to the use of cannabis with high THC content (marijuana) became an illegal drug. Cannabis type (hemp), also known as industrial cannabis, is cultivated with permission in some areas in Türkiye due to its ecologically positive effects on the environment and high economic returns. Also, 25,000 different products produced by using cannabis. In this study, it was aimed to determine suitable fields for cannabis cultivation in Samsun, Amasya and Tokat provinces. For this purpose, the ecological demands of the plant and the ecological conditions of the field were analyzed with the Best-worst method and the results were mapped and it was determined that 22-29% of the agricultural areas in the study area are suitable for hemp cultivation. This study is important in terms of promoting cannabis, which will contribute to sustainability in many ways, and making its cultivation widespread

Yasaklı Bitkiden Potansiyel Bir Hazineye Doğru: Samsun, Amasya ve Tokat İllerinde Kenevir (Cannabis sativa L. hemp) Yetiştiriciliğinin Best-Worst Yöntemiyle Analizi

Abstract

Neolitik dönemde tarımın keşfedilmesiyle birlikte kültür altına alınan ve medeniyetlerin gelişmesinde son derece önemli bir paya sahip olan kenevir, zengin lif içeriğiyle pek çok alanda kullanılabilmesine rağmen THC oranı yüksek olan kenevir türünün (marijuana) yasa dışı uyuşturucu olarak kullanılması sebebiyle Dünya’nın en şüpheyle yaklaşılan bitkisi haline gelmiştir. Endüstriyel kenevir olarak da bilinen kenevir türü (hemp) ekolojik olarak çevreye olumlu etkilerinden ve yüksek ekonomik getirisinden dolayı ülkemizde bazı alanlarda izinli olarak yetiştirilmektedir. Kenevirin ekonomik getirisi ve 25.000 farklı ürünün ham maddesi olması dolayısıyla ülkemizde kenevir yetiştiriciliği teşvik edilmelidir. Bu çalışmada, Samsun, Amasya ve Tokat illerinde kenevir yetiştiriciliği için uygun sahaların tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda bitkinin ekolojik istekleriyle sahanın ekolojik koşulları Best-worst yöntemiyle analiz edilmiş ve sonuçlar haritalanarak çalışma sahasındaki tarım alanlarının %22-29’unun kenevir tarımına uygun olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma, pek çok açıdan sürdürülebilirliğe katkısı olacak kenevirin tanıtılmasını ve yetiştiriciliğinin yaygınlaşmasını sağlamak açısından önemlidir.
