Abstract

This chapter aims to assess the sustainability of the agricultural sector in Turkey by focusing on diagnosed problems and on the relevant policy framework. In the first part of the chapter, descriptive information regarding household livelihoods in rural Turkey is provided to diagnose economic, social and environmental problems that might be crucial in terms of sustainability. We place particular emphasis on five topics including agricultural trade balance, inequalities and rural poverty, natural resources, demographic trends and migrations, and public health concerns. Wherever possible, we focus our attention on developments over the past 2–3 decades while analyses provide statistical information on possible sourcing factors underlying the diagnosed problems.
