ECOLOGICAL AGRICULTURE - CASE STUDY AGRI REGION TURKEY

The present paper renders some aspects related to organic agriculture in Turkey generally and specific aspects about some villages of Agri region particularly. The paper also includes the interpretation of the statistical data (for 2013) regarding the main agricultural surfaces from nine villages situated at 1,640 meter altitude in Agri region (Arakonak, Ahmetbey, Aslangazi, Badılı, Aşağıküpkıran, Ağıbaşı, Anakaya, Baloluk, Akbulgur). In these villages, the citizens’ number is low, ranging between 77 and 1,339 inhabitants; we mention that the agricultural surfaces are also reduced (between 22,067 and 5089,601 ha). For each village, there is a detailed description of the agricultural surfaces according to the main crops (cereals, beet, onion), as well as of adjacent plots cultivated with vegetables or the total number of domestic animals. All the data used in the present paper are interesting, new and original. The paper makes reference to the results regarding the soil analysis for heavy metals made in 2013 in the Central Laboratory of Ibrahim Çeçen University.
