Sustainable Agriculture and Good Agricultural Practices in Turkey
Özet
Good agricultural practices (GAP) first initiated in Europe to provide food security and quality. Good agricultural practices in Turkey have been started at 18 provinces in 2007 and it showed great development due to increasing subsidies within the last three years. However, it is important to increase the demand to these products in order to sustain GAP. Adoption of a marketing strategy considering consumers' preferences will probably increase the production as well as competition among companies involved in this process. In this paper, developments of GAP in the world and its reflections over Turkey have been examined.
