Abstract:
Agriculture is an important economic activity for many people. Agriculture, on the one hand,
constitutes the main source of the production of food, which is a condition for the survival of the
people, and on the other hand it provides the people with a source of livelihood. Again,
agriculture is being done in the environment we live in and these activities are affecting the
environment due to various pressures such as the ever-increasing population, more income, more
products from the unit area, and this effect is increasingly threatening human health. Because of
these characteristics, agriculture is indispensable for people and it is a strategic production
sector. For this reason, management of agricultural activities is of great importance. The
importance of agriculture in our lives is increasing day by day and social consciousness about
agriculture is developing rapidly. Thanks to technological developments, people can get
information faster and easier and they are conscious about agricultural activities. People no
longer prefer products derived from agricultural activities that are harmful to the environment
and human health when questioning the safety of products produced after agricultural activities.
Thanks to this auto control, producers are adapting their production processes to the new
situation in line with these expectations. In this new process, sustainable agricultural production
methods such as organic farming, good farming practices and ecological farming have emerged
in order to maximize the benefits of preserving their production capabilities without damaging
the resources at hand, taking into consideration the rights of future generations in agricultural
production. These new approaches require the fulfilment of management function scientifically
in order to achieve the goals that are aimed at sustainable agriculture.
