Publication Research on the adoption of soil analysis applications in agricultural entities(Univ Agronomic Sciences & Veterinary Medicine Bucharest - Usamv, 2023-01-01) TURAN, ÖZLEM; Gürbüz, İsmail Bülent; GÜRBÜZ, İSMAİL BÜLENT; Kadağan, Özgecan; Ziraat Fakültesi; Tarım Ekonomisi Bölümü; 0000-0003-4673-7086; 0000-0001-5340-3725; M-4349-2019; AAG-7236-2021The main purpose in agricultural production is to get the highest yield from the unit area. The prerequisite for obtaining high efficiency is the right fertilizer consumption. The basic element of obtaining the highest income from production is balanced fertilization. Factors such as the type, amount and time of use of the fertilizer directly affects yield. Thus, in order for the producer to use fertilization in a balanced method, it is necessary to give the soil an appropriate amount and type of fertilizer by making a soil analysis. This research aims to determine the tendencies of the producers in Bursa to have soil analysis performed. For this purpose, a face-to-face survey was conducted with 388 producers. The data obtained were analyzed and interpreted with SPSS 25.0. 38.9% of the producers are between the ages of 36-45. Educational status is only literate at the rate of 66.8%. According to the test results, 82.2% of the producers do not use soil analysis for their lands. It is seen that the producers who have soil analysis have the analysis done to learn the fertilizer need of the crop they will plant the most and they trust the results of the analysis. It has also been observed that the producers do not have sufficient information about soil analysis. This is due to the low level of education of the producers. The increase in the trainings that will raise the awareness of the producers and free soil analysis will encourage the producers to analyze. The main thing is that this factor, which directly affects production, such as soil analysis, should be made compulsory for all producers.Publication Farmers water usage preferences and their attitude towards excessive irrigation(Univ Agronomic Sciences & Veterinary Medicine Bucharest - Usamv, 2023-01-01) TURAN, ÖZLEM; Gürbüz, Ismail Bülent; Kadagan, Özgecan; Ziraat Fakültesi; Tarım Ekonomisi Bölümü; 0000-0003-4673-7086; 0000-0001-5340-3725; AAG-7236-2021; M-4349-2019One of the biggest risks that the world will face by 2050 is water scarcity. This problem is not only the main problem of underdeveloped and developing countries, but also of developed countries. Considering that the agricultural sector uses 70% of the global fresh water drawn from rivers, lakes and other sources, water waste in agricultural areas should be prevented and water should be used effectively. This research aims to determine the water usage preferences of the producers in the agricultural sector where water usage is the highest. For this purpose, a face-to-face survey was conducted with 412 producers residing in the rural areas of Bursa, Turkey. The data obtained as a result of the survey were analyzed with SPSS 25. 0. When the analysis results are examined; It is seen that 36.2% of the producers determine the amount of water they will use for irrigation according to their estimations, they have very little (50.2%) information about the useful water capacity of the soil, and 47.8% do not use drip irrigation, but they plan to use it. Although studies have been carried out to prevent water waste, the expected benefit has not been achieved. Extension service should be provided to the producers that excessive irrigation does not increase the yield.Publication Impacts of cattle and sheep husbandry on global greenhouse gas emissions: A time series analysis for central european countries(Hard, 2015-01-01) Gürlük, Serkan; Uzel, Gökhan; Turan, Özlem; GÜRLÜK, SERKAN; UZEL, GÖKHAN; TURAN, ÖZLEM; Ziraat Fakültesi; Tarım Ekonomisi Bölümü; 0000-0003-4673-7086; AAG-7236-2021; AAG-8213-2021; N-8716-2017; JGR-6037-2023Global warming and climate change have become issues that recently have caused much concern in the world. Countries that perform their economic activities without thinking about future generations have had to focus on "sustainability" issues since local and global environmental issues have been experienced. In this context, global warming problems have become one of the most important environmental topics occupying the world agenda and are causing intensive scientific and political discussions. One of the causes of global warming is increasing greenhouse gases, CO2, CH4, N2O, CFC, etc., in the atmosphere. Especially in developing countries, growing populations, industrial development, and increasing demand for energy have triggered greenhouse gas emissions. Yet we cannot ignore the contributions of developed countries to greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, developed countries have brought the world's attention to sustainability and environmental management systems after contributing negatively to world pollution. While all these discussions are going on, a new issue is the negative effect of greenhouse gas emissions caused by animal husbandry. In order to meet the global meat demand, intensive industrial and traditional husbandry is preferred worldwide. This situation causes increased greenhouse gas emissions and may cause significant problems to the environment and to sustainable agriculture. By considering the negative contribution of animal husbandry to global warming issues, countries may have to enact reforms in animal husbandry policies or pay the price for their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions in the future. The purpose of this study is to present policy options for Turkey, EU-12 countries, and Central European countries in regards to this topic. These analyses will shed light on animal husbandry practices and contribute to the knowledge level of political decision makers and the public.Publication The impacts of social discount rate in countries striving for industrialization(Springer, 2023-04-19) Turan, Özlem; Gürlük, Serkan; TURAN, ÖZLEM; GÜRLÜK, SERKAN; Tarım Ekonomisi Bölümü; 0000-0003-4673-7086; 0000-0002-3159-1769; JQW-8370-2023; AAG-7236-2021The social discount rate (SDR) for infrastructure policies is applied in public projects' benefit/cost analysis and measures the rate at which a society is willing to pay for present consumption. The choice of the discount rate in such project evaluation may play a vital role in the relative weighting of cost and benefits. A high SDR will evaluate the benefits of certain projects at a lower present value. A low SDR will raise the present value of the project's economic benefits, and it will weigh the long-term environmental damages more heavily. The current paper has examined variations in social discount rate policies of various countries around the world. Developed countries have applied lower rates like 3-5% while developing countries apply 7.3-15%. Higher SDR numbers means intervention to future generation rights. Developing countries should review the appropriateness of their SDR levels according to changing domestic economic circumstances and international capital market conditions. Developed countries should give less-developed countries or developing countries a chance by transferring their technologies applied in abatement policies. The key that will open the door to a better future for our grandchildren is in the hand of developed communities.Publication Economic evaluation of a prospective farm animal welfare program in Turkey(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2019-10-24) Turan, Özlem; GÜRLÜK, SERKAN; TURAN, ÖZLEM; Gürlük, Serkan; Madiyoh, Abdulhakim; Ziraat Fakültesi; 0000-0003-4673-7086; 0000-0002-3159-1769; AAG-7236-2021; GWV-0927-2022; AAG-8099-2021Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine producer preferences for changing Farm Animal Welfare (FAW) levels in regards to sheep and goat husbandry in Bursa-Turkey. Design/methodology/approach The paper tests "panel estimators" in a stated preference data by using the payment card question format. Probit panels are employed to measure individual effects on FAW levels by considering producers' willingness to accept. Three different FAW levels were identified for valuation as "base" level, "better" level, and the "best" level. The current study suggests a protocol with WTA(P) nomenclature to resolve complexity issues in FAW studies by investigating producers rather than consumers because the scenarios regarding FAW levels include quite technical and difficult topics which are vague to consumers. Findings If half of the total number of the sheep and goats in Turkey are assumed to be in bad animal welfare conditions, which are worse than base level, the non-use benefits of bringing them to at least the base level would be about US$130.3m. Figures would be 166.2m US$/year and 175m US$/year for "better" and "best" FAW conditions, respectively. Originality/value This paper provides a contribution to the existing literature by examining the producers' responses to new FAW schemes. Also it helps policy makers to understand producers' environmental behavior as well as their sensitivity to FAW schemes.
