“…Economic papers on MAPs were categorized into three levels of analysis: the micro level, which focused on single or a few farms; the meso level, which encompassed research carried out in a nation, a region, or a province; and the macro level, which included studies developed in a general way describing the situation on a global or European level. Table 5 shows that more than half of the papers studied MAPs from an economic point of view with a meso level of analysis (56%), above all, at a national [73,80,81] or regional level [82][83][84]. By referring to the geographic focus of the study, in almost 90% of cases, the economic papers related to a specific geographical area and were concentrated in India (Figure 12), according to the data of the distribution of total publications shown previously in Figure 3.…”

Around the world, medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) play a fundamental role in the economic, social, cultural, and ecological ambits of local communities. Today, the most important uses of MAPs are their applications in the pharmaceutical, perfume, cosmetics, toothpaste, soap, beverage, and food industries. At the same time, the expression MAPs is often used with a plurality of meanings that are not always clear and well-defined. Thus, the paper aims to answer two research questions: (1) to understand how the expression MAPs has been meant over time by scholars, and (2) to realize the weight that socio-economic research regarding MAPs has assumed in this context. To these ends, a literature review was conducted using the scientific database Scopus. The results highlight that researchers started talking explicitly about MAPs in the 1950s, and the geographical focus of the literature on this theme is in India, followed by China. Researchers have published studies concerning the agronomic aspects, cultivation, characterization, and germination techniques of MAPs, but the most cited articles concern the health and beneficial properties of their essential oils. At the same time, nobody has ever wondered what MAPs are, and since 1977, the World Health Organization definition has been taken for granted, and any species with medicinal or aromatic functions is considered to be a MAP. Regarding the socio-economic weight of the research conducted on MAPs, they represent only 1% of the total academic publications, but from them, it has emerged that, especially in rural areas, MAPs depict important sources of income for several local communities. At the same time, there is a need to increase the estimation of the ecosystem services that MAPs offer, the analyses of consumer preferences in the search for new business opportunities, and the environmental impact assessment of the entire supply chain.

Decreased water management systems and sea level rise cause inundation in the Katingan tidal agricultural lowland. Excessive and prolonged inundation can decrease rice production or even loss of rice land. A study was conducted to provide adaptive water management for controlling water levels in canals and rice crop fields inundation. For this purpose, a combined one- and two-dimensional unsteady flow method was used in HEC-RAS. The scenario of water level control uses sluice and flap gates in secondary canals. Under spring tide conditions, water level control with gates decreases the inundation area by 95.62%. Likewise, in the 25 and 50-year sea level rise scenarios, inundation decreased by 88.51% and 82.25%. In the spring tide condition, the duration of inundation is decreased from 3.5 to 0.9 days. Under 25 and 50-year sea level rise scenarios, the duration of inundation was decreased from 3.7 to 3 days and from 4.3 to 4.1 days. The use of gates significantly decreases inundation in the spring tide condition, but under sea level rise in 25 and 50-year, the depth and duration of inundation are still dangerous for rice crops; therefore, it is necessary to advance water management control for the sustainability of rice fields.

Bu çalışma, Denizli ilinde yer alan tarım işletmelerinde kekik üretiminde girdi kullanımının belirlenmesi ve üretim maliyetinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan veriler Basit Tesadüfî Örnekleme Yöntemi’ne göre belirlenen 82 adet tarım işletmesinden anket uygulamasıyla elde edilmiştir. İncelenen işletmelerde tarımsal gayrisafi üretim değerinin %60.57’si, bitkisel üretim deseninin %65.54’ü ve bitkisel üretim değerinin de %73.89’unu kekik ve kekikten elde edilen üretim değerleri oluşturmaktadır. İşletmelerde ortalama kekik üretim alanı 45 da olup, birim alandan elde edilen verim 95.10 kg da-1 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları birim alandan ortalama 95.10 kg kekik ürünü elde edilebilmesi için dekar başına; 10,296 adet fide, 8.93 cc zirai mücadele ilacı, 52.34 kg kimyevi gübre ve 16.57 lt mazot tüketilmesi gerektiğini, bununla birlikte 4.49 saat makine işgücü ve 17.84 saat insan işgücüne ihtiyaç duyulduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yürütülen çalışmada kekik üretiminin ortalama üretim değeri 1.494,02 TL da-1 olarak hesaplanmış, en yüksek kekik üretim değeri 1.691,00 TL da-1 ile birinci grupta yer alan işletmelerden elde edilmiştir. Yürütülen araştırmada birim alanda ortalama kekik üretim maliyeti 1.101,36 TL da-1 olarak tespit edilmiş, en yüksek ürün maliyeti 1.175,83 TL da-1 ile birinci grupta yer alan işletmelerde gerçekleşmiştir. İşletmeler ortalaması dikkate alındığında, birim alanda kekik üretiminin brüt kârı 882.74 TL da-1, net kârı 392.66 TL da-1 ve nispi kâr oranı ise 1.36 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Nispi kar oranı birinci (1.44) ve ikinci (1.45) grupta yer alan işletmelerde birbirine oldukça yakın iken, en düşük nispi kâr 1.29 ile üçüncü grupta yer alan işletmelerden elde edilmiştir. Yapılan araştırma Denizli ilinde kekik üretimine ilişkin tarımsal bir örgütlenmenin olmadığını göstermiştir. Bu durum işletmelerin kekik üretiminden elde edebileceği geliri kısıtlamaktadır. Bununla birlikte coğrafi tescilli bir ürün olan kekikte il özelinde markalaşmaya gidilmesi halinde kekik üreticilerinin gelirinin de artması mümkündür.
