Individualization
rising under the effect of neo-liberal politics abdicated responsibility of
food security for citizens given by the state and created a new zone where
citizens need to provide his or her own food security. Food security as a
social right is left to the individual’s consumption preferences through
globalization. Basically food security corresponds to having access to food
needed for survival. Providing food security by producer while being suspended
from production process can seemingly be performed over his or her buying
behavior. Therefore, the concept of food security specific to Turkey must be
evaluated from a broader perspective. The limit of this perspective specifies
the subject of this study. Accordingly, the questions ‘Can food security be
mentioned in agricultural soil where global companies started to have a corner
promptly?’ and ‘What are the ways of accessing food by deruralized population
suspended from production process while they produce food themselves?’ reveals
the need to reinterpret food security for Turkey from a sociological
perspective. Consequently, food security concept will be studied on the basis
of ‘dispossession’, ‘peasant-worker’, ‘domestic migration’ and ‘urbanization’
terms.
