Global Climate Change and Its Effects on Agriculture

Global climate change is causing significant issues in the agricultural sector. Sudden temperature fluctuations during spring are putting producers in a tough spot.
Prof. Dr. Elman Bahar from Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University states that climate change negatively impacts fruit orchards. Sudden weather changes affect the flowering period of fruit trees, leading to crop losses.
Producers are trying to take various precautions against adverse weather conditions like frost. However, these measures are not always sufficient.
Drought and low temperatures can lead to losses in fruit orchards. This situation may also increase food inflation.
While Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Ibrahim Yumaklı states that there is no risk to food supply, he advises farmers to get agricultural insurance.
