Book (stand-alone)FAO in Türkiye 2023
Also available in:
No results found.This study, titled "FAO in Türkiye" presents an overview of the activities and initiatives undertaken by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Türkiye. It comprehensively covers the program areas, major themes, and ongoing projects within the FAO in Türkiye Office. The primary objective of this study is to illustrate how the FAO Representation in Türkiye aligns its operations with the core guiding principle of FAO, known as the "Four Betters." This study unveils the remarkable diversity, both thematically and geographically, of FAO's programs and projects in Türkiye. Ranging from sustainable food systems to addressing climate change, promoting food literacy, and empowering rural women, it seeks to convey the important message that FAO actively contributes to various aspects of the agri-food system in Türkiye and its broader impact. Within the aforementioned framework, this study emphasizes key initiatives such as the FAO-Türkiye Partnership Programme, projects supported by the Global Environment Facility, and the Syrian Refugee Resilience Plan. Furthermore, it furnishes valuable insights into the Country Office's relationships with donors and key stakeholders. In summary, this study sheds light on FAO's pivotal role in advancing Turkish agriculture and rural communities over the past four decades through initiatives aimed at capacity development, technical cooperation, policy dialogue, and spanning across sectors including crop production, livestock, fisheries, forestry, as well as agri-food industry and rural development. -
BookletTürkiye: Earthquake response and recovery plan, 2023–2026 2023
Also available in:
The earthquakes that struck Türkiye on February 2023 had a devastating impact on the agriculture and rural sectors. For example, agricultural infrastructure, including warehouses, packaging and storage facilities, as well as equipment, have been severely damaged; more than 13 284 livestock shelters were destroyed and around 815 000 heads of livestock were lost; fisheries were impacted; and markets and supply chains were disrupted. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in partnership with the Government of Türkiye developed a three-year Earthquake response and recovery plan (ERRP), with an estimated budget of USD 112 million, directly benefiting approximately 700 000 people and over 850 enterprises in the affected areas. The ERRP aims to restore the supply and value chains of agrifood systems (Outcome 1); revitalize the agricultural labour market (Outcome 2); and empower rural communities for sustainable development (Outcome 3). In that regard, the ERRP is a comprehensive plan that includes immediate, short term and long term interventions. This document serves as roadmap for the ERRP and as a resource mobilization tool, presenting the rationale, the expected impact, outcomes and outputs of the ERRP as well as the funding requirements. -
Book (stand-alone)Rapid geospatial assessment after the earthquake in Türkiye in 2023
Impacts on infrastructure and farming community during the period February-March 2023
2023Also available in:
No results found.Türkiye is located in an active seismic zone, and earthquakes are not uncommon in the country. The government and local authorities have taken measures to strengthen buildings and infrastructure in order to minimize the risk of damage from earthquakes, but the region remains vulnerable to seismic activity. On 6 February 2023 at 4.17 am local time, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake occurred near the city of Gaziantep in southern Türkiye. Its tremors were felt in the provinces of Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus and Iraq. A rapid geospatial assessment has been conducted to assess the impact of the earthquakes on the agricultural sector by Geospatial Unit in Land and Water Division at FAO. Geospatial data from publicly available satellite imageries, very high-resolution aerial photographs, and information from national portals were collected and analyzed to assess the impact of the earthquake. The data were processed and analyzed using geospatial cloud computing tools. This report provides results on (1) damage proxy map (2) exposed population, (3) farmers exposure to earthquake, (4) map of cultivated land with 3 classes at 10 m resolution (Horticulture, Rainfed and irrigated), (5) Impacted agriculture infrastructure, (6) deformation map.
