ons, organizations and water users in the face of the measures to be taken in order to reduce the
effects of possible drought in Türkiye.

In the National Action Plan on Climate Change (2011-2023), Agriculture under the Mitigation
Section and Agriculture Sector and Food Security under the Adaptation Section are included.
Under these headings, limiting greenhouse gas reductions originating from the agriculture sec-
tor, integrating the adaptation approach to the impacts of climate change into agriculture sector
and food security policies, developing and disseminating R&D studies and scientific studies for
determining the impacts of climate change in agriculture and ensuring adaptation to climate
change, planning agricultural water use in a sustainable manner, protecting soil and agricultural
biodiversity against the impacts of climate change and improving institutional capacity and in-
ter-institutional cooperation in Türkiye on adaptation options in agriculture are included.

R&D, practices and activities are carried out by the units of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fo-
restry in line with the targets included in the Action Plan for Agriculture, and strategies and poli-
cies are developed in the light of data. Some of these studies are listed below.
