This study was conducted in Hatay and Mardin provinces to investigate the tendency of farmers to use social media, the difficulties they face during the use of social media and the variables affecting the use of social media by farmers. The research consisted of data obtained from a face-to-face survey of 221 producers using proportional sampling method. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis, and chi-square analysis was used to examine the relationships between variables. The results showed that the rate of producers using social media was 77.8% in Mardin province and 73.8% in Hatay province. Additionally, farmers mostly use social media for communication with families and access to new news. Also, the most commonly used social media applications in both provinces were WhatsApp and Facebook. As a result of this research, it was determined that farmers don’t use social media sufficiently for agricultural activities, and it was suggested that farmers’ organizations and related institutions should carry out information activities for farmers to encourage farmers to use social media efficiently.

It is thought that farmers have a low income because they keep doing organic farming in order to benefit from agricultural support in spite of having significant problems; they do not have any production methods and the ability to cope with diseases and pests.…”

“…İpek and Yaşar Çil (2010) it was stated that with the increase in global pollution, a number of regulations are made for organic farming at both international and national levels. Acıbuca et al (2018); Karabaş and Gürler (2011) it was determined that the low agricultural incomes of the farmers are also effective in the development of organic farming activities in the region. In addition, the absence of control and certification organizations and companies marketing organic products limits the sources of information for farmers.…”

Healthy life in a sustainable environment is possible with accessible food production. The Covid-19 epidemic is a serious threat worldwide. This epidemic has revealed the importance of agricultural products. One of the most important areas of the epidemic affecting the whole world is exports; however, increased demand for agricultural products and exports in the epidemic process in Turkey. Turkey has a say in the trade of seedless dried grapes in the world. Seedless dried grape is on the healthy products list of the WHO. In 2019/2020, it had a share of 36% of world exports (with 246 thousand tons of export). This study was performed to evaluate their thoughts and farmers’ problems with the adoption of organic farming in Besni district of Adıyaman. The research conducted in-depth interviews with the farmers producing organic grapes. Also, a face-to-face survey was conducted with 50 farmers. According to the findings, the land width of the farmers is not much. It has an average growing area of 37.52 decares. An average yield of 1.808 kg da-1 is obtained from this area. Serious differences have been found between conventional and organic farming. Moreover, government supports, high product prices, income, health, sustainability, and environmental protection are reasons farmers switch to organic farming. However, farmers argue that organic farming is less costly than conventional farming. Access to chemicals and marketing are major problems. As a result, farmers should be informed about organic farming. Additionally, it is thought that these studies will increase the productivity and product quality of the farmers. It is predicted that it will prevent rural to urban migration in the region.
