Synopsis (short abstract) One of the sectors that suffered the most serious economic damage in the two major earthquakes Türkiye experienced on February 6 was the agriculture and food sector. In the earthquake zone, called the Fertile Crescent, there was a risk that producers would not be able to produce. What FAO, which rushed to help from the first moment of the earthquake, has done so far has continued to be the main topic of this issue. In addition, a project implemented in Türkiye on land degradation was presented as an example at an international meeting in Ecuador. In addition, a joint project of UN agencies was successfully finalized.

    According to United Nations projections, the world’s population is expected to exceed 10 billion by 2050. One of the most pressing challenges we face is producing enoughfood to feed this population. Although global agriculture has the capacity to feed everyone, according to the latest SOFI around 733 million people still suffer from hunger due toconflict, extreme climate events and economic shocks. The global climate crisis is a significant factor contributing to hunger and food shortages. Agriculture is both one akey contributor to the climate crisis and one of the most severely impacted sectors. FAO is implementing many projects in Türkiye to combat the effects of climate change. These projects focus on issues such as training farmers in climate-smart production models through Applied Farmer Schools and crop diversification. This issue of FAOTURN also includes the latest evaluations of the project to empower Syrians under temporary protection who have fled the civil war in Syria to Türkiye through agricultural employment. Vilcinsas, Deputy Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Türkiye, the donor of the project, who writes under this title, also draws attention. As in every issue, there are also successes and stories of women producers in the agri-food sector.
