ORGANIC AGRICULTURE PRACTICES IN TURKEY AS A VALUE CHAIN CREATING MODEL OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION

Abstract

This study emphasises the importance of promoting organic agriculture activities which will contribute to reviving and bringing the agricultural sector of Turkey to a level that is in keeping with the country’s farming assets such as its land, natural resources and diversity of living organisms in the soil and also contribute to the monetary added value created in the country, which unfortunately has yet to achieve reaching contemporary development goals despite being described as a country of agriculture. The main area of focus of this study, which puts the organic farming community of Kırtık Village at the center, is the mechanism whereby all products and semi-products produced in this village are directly supplied to producers and consumers; creating an organic chain. Ensuring the fair dissemination of wealth created by the monetization of organic farming products; contributing to public health by promoting organic product awareness and increased consumption of organic products at more reasonable prices, and creating opportunities for conducting agricultural practices in a sustainable environment as a model that creates a value chain in Turkish agricultural production are the topics focused on in this study.
