"The Climate Crisis Affecting Agriculture Means It Affects Us All"

In her speech at the session, Tülin AKIN said: "The fact that the climate crisis affects agriculture means that it affects us all. Planting, planting and harvesting dates of crops were previously fixed. They could be predicted seasonally. For this reason, farmers expected to plant the same crop in the same period and get the same result. For this reason, ancient knowledge was always useful. With the impact of climate change, agriculture is a sector that is already highly affected by natural disasters due to the inability to market, unpredictability and the sudden ripening or late ripening of products during harvest. The product is affected by all kinds of natural disasters in the field in a warehouse without a roof. This situation affects the farmer a lot. In the agricultural sector, men and women have equal labor force and participate in production equally, but women are not considered as farmers but as housewives. In fact, in sectors around the world, only in agriculture, women and men participate equally in the labor force."
