Year 2018, Volume: 1 Issue: 3, 66 - 69, 01.07.2018

Abstract

In this paper,
agricultural areas of Göksun District in Kahramanmaras province were studied in
terms of organic agriculture, which is a method of farming, where natural
equilibrium is maintained, sustainability is ensured and new generations can be
grown with healthy food, and opinions and suggestions regarding the organic
plant production potential of the province based on the results obtained from
the data of Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Livestock and TURKSTAT and on the
scientific papers and on-site examinations regarding the subject were included
and the feasibility was investigated. With the advantage of its fertile soils
that have not been polluted yet, the region will become attractive to investors
who will make organic production, hence the income level of the local farmer
will increase. Due to these and similar reasons, it was concluded that the
agricultural structure of the Göksun district is suitable for organic
production.
