Building the resilience of Turkey’s agricultural sector to droughts
Turkey is exposed to multiple natural hazard-induced disasters (NHID) and has considerable
experience in managing the associated risks. Drought, in particular, has had significant
impacts on the country’s agricultural sector, and the frequency of droughts is expected
to increase due to climate change. Existing governance and policy frameworks seek
to ensure that the agricultural sector is prepared for, and able to respond to, adverse
events as they occur. While these mechanisms contribute to improved resilience, further
opportunities exist to strengthen policy processes, in particular by increasing farmer
and private sector participation.
