Priorities in Rural Development and Sustainable Development Proposal with Cooperatives in Pilot Application (Draft) Evaluation

Various studies are being carried out on alternative projects that will ensure rural development all over the world.
It is difficult to live in rural areas almost all over the world and it is not possible to get a sufficient share from general growth.
As such, people living in these regions choose to migrate in order to benefit from the opportunities of technology and get a greater share of social welfare.
Although rapid migration has different effects from country to country, as a result, abandoned rural areas become depopulated and the added value to be produced from these areas is left with the danger of zeroing out.
This danger occurs as a result of the accumulation of unqualified labor force in the cities of developing countries; The employment gap has the effect of increasing the potential crime stock, which will be a source for violent crime areas, along with many social problems, since there is not enough infrastructure stock.
-When the drawbacks of the structure, where development was once expressed by the rate of urbanization, were seen (in developed countries), with the projects of filling the depopulated lands with reverse migration; In addition to providing a soothing solution for the masses of people who are lonely in the crowd, progress has been made to regain the potential added value lost due to the vacant lands.
What is Türkiye's situation regarding this problem?

• Plots of land divided by inheritance are no longer suitable for subsistence.
• When the workforce that was qualified for the region in the rural areas could not make a living, they migrated to the cities and were concentrated in the slums as unqualified workforce because they lacked the equipment and professional knowledge suitable for the new field.
• Cities could not prevent the formation of marginal areas that have nothing to do with the city due to the lack of infrastructure to accommodate rapid migration.
• The young population, who had to live in the city but in worse conditions than in the countryside, had to turn to marginal criminal organizations in order to make ends meet.
• The state allocated the resources it would have allocated to investments that increase employment opportunities to police areas aimed at preventing crime and poured its financial resources into areas where there is no return.

Result; a barren socioeconomic picture.

PROBLEM/SOLUTION:

Actually, Türkiye is not at a dead end in taking measures to revitalize the value-added areas it has lost. Why?

PROBLEM:
P.1. Where are the rural development areas seen as the main part of the problem?
C.1. a. Forest villages,
b. Forest edge sloping non-agricultural areas,
c. Villages established in agricultural areas only on marginal (infertile) land areas.
Q. 2. Where are the areas with the most immigration?
C.3. Forest villages, settlements on forest edge sloping lands and settlements in marginal agricultural land area.

SOLUTION:
P.1. What are our non-agricultural plant resources in these 3 settlements?
C.1. These are the areas where our endemic species and medicinal aromatic plants grow the most.

P.2. What is the market status of endemic species and plants with medicinal and aromatic value?
C.2. Since these areas also remain organic; If the entire Turkey potential of the World Market as ready material for the "food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical" industry were put into production, it could only meet the demand of around 10%. (Market size in these areas is 6 trillion dollars, world production is 20 billion dollars. Deficit is 5 trillion 980 million dollars)

RESULT:
