Özet

Agri-environmental policy implementations are usually carried out for the incentive of more environmentally friendly agriculture in the world. Recently, the impact of agriculture on the environment is a significant issue for agricultural policies in Turkey. Turkey and European Union (EU) have taken some approaches towards interfacing between the agricultural and environmental policy. In Turkey and EU, agri-environmental programs have been recognized as eco-friendly ways to support income to farmers. The objective of this study is to present agri-environmental policies (regulations, supports etc.) in Turkey and EU. This study is based on literature review. The main method is to evaluate, synthesize and establish relationships among the researches from the relevant literature. According to the results, there is no major problem about integration of agri-environmental legal obligations between Turkey and EU. Also, similarities and differences between support policies in Turkey and EU have been compared. According to comparison, supports for agri-environmental practices in Turkey and EU are at different levels.
