The 13th edition of FAOTURN was mainly focused on the earthquake. The response of the FAO and its partners on the ground, as well as the United Nations' aid efforts, were the main focus of this edition, which covered the work carried out in the field from the very first moments of the earthquake under the Emergency Response program.

    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.
