Abstract

In a competitive economy, agricultural policy must be implemented with a balanced sustainability approach by supporting producers in agricultural production. In recent years, it has been argued that global climate change, local/international marketing dynamics and local/international agricultural policy changes have more impact on the agricultural sector. Governments and international organizations are making intense efforts to develop sustainable policies in the agricultural sector to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While research on the adoption of new practices and new strategies in agriculture continues to grow and develop; Agricultural policy practices offer new opportunities for agricultural marketing. The main purpose of this study is to determine and rank the importance level weights of the criteria affecting agricultural policy for sustainable agricultural marketing. In determining the criteria weights, the Best Worst method (BWM) from the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods was preferred. The research proposes a framework for determining the weights of the appropriate criteria for agricultural policy strategy selection through a combined approach of multi-criteria decision making involving relevant stakeholders in an environment of uncertainty. According to the research results, project costs were determined to be the most important criterion for decision makers. This was followed by social benefits and employment opportunities criteria, respectively. When determining agricultural policy strategies for sustainable agricultural marketing, economic, social and environmental criteria may influence the evaluation of policy makers and stakeholders. Therefore, when determining strategies in agricultural policy, more importance should be given to sustainability approaches, taking into account all these factors.

Sürdürülebilir Tarımsal Pazarlama İçin Tarım Politikasına Etki Eden Kriterlerin Değerlendirilmesinde Bwm Çok Kriterli Karar Verme Yöntemi Uygulaması

Abstract

Rekabetçi bir ekonomide tarım politikası, tarımsal üretimde üreticiyi destekleyerek dengeli bir şekilde sürdürülebilirlik yaklaşımıyla uygulanması gerekir. Son yıllarda küresel iklim değişikliğinin, yerel/uluslararası pazarlama dinamiklerinin ve yerel/uluslararası tarım politikası değişikliklerinin tarım sektörünü daha fazla etkilediği tartışılmaktadır. Hükümetler ve uluslararası kuruluşlar, Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedeflerine yönelik ilerlemeyi hızlandırmak amacıyla tarım sektöründe sürdürülebilir politikalar geliştirmek için yoğun bir çaba sarfetmektedirler. Tarımda yeni uygulamaların ve yeni stratejilerin benimsenmesine yönelik araştırmalar büyümeye ve gelişmeye devam ederken; tarım politikası uygulamaları tarımsal pazarlamaya ilişkin yeni fırsatlar sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, sürdürülebilir tarımsal pazarlama için tarım politikasına etki eden kriterlerin önem düzeyi ağırlıklarını belirlemek ve sıralamaktır. Kriter Ağırlıklarının belirlenmesinde çok kriterli karar verme (ÇKKV) yöntemlerinden Best Worst yöntemi (BWM) tercih edilmiştir. Araştırma, belirsizlik ortamında ilgili paydaşların dahil olduğu çok kriterli karar vermenin birleşik yaklaşımı yoluyla tarım politikası strateji seçimi için uygun kriterlerin ağırlıklarını belirlemek için bir çerçeve önermektedir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre proje maliyetleri karar vericiler için en önemli kriter olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bunu sırasıyla sosyal faydalar ve istihdam olanakları kriterleri takip etmiştir. Sürdürülebilir tarım pazarlama için tarım politikası stratejileri belirlenirken, ekonomik, sosyal ve çevresel kriterler politika yapıcılar ve paydaşların değerlendirmesini etkileyebilecektir. Bu nedenle tarım politikasında stratejiler belirlenirken tüm bu faktörler de dikkate alınarak sürdürülebilirlik yaklaşımlarına daha çok önem verilmelidir.
