Economic Cooperation and Development Organization (OECD) has released the 2023 Report of Monitoring and Evaluation of Agricultural Policy. In the report that the organization publishes 36 of this year, 38 OECD countries, 5 OECD non-member European Union (EU) countries and emerging countries Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Philippines, Russia, South Africa, Ukraine and Vietnam are up-to-date assessment of agricultural policies in total of 54 countries. According to the report, the increased impact of climate change increases the need for reform and adaptation policies in agricultural production systems. In order to provide sufficient, affordable and nutritious food for the growing global population in agriculture, urgent reform is necessary, especially for climate change, emission reduction, endurance and sustainable production increase.

The support provided in the record level but mostly ‘piyasa jammer’
] The support given to agriculture in 54 countries covered by the report reached a historical level of 851 billion dollars per year in 2020-2022. This figure corresponds to almost 2.5-storey increase compared to 2000-2002 period. According to the OECD, most manufacturers support prevent climate change, while mostly risk marketing and damaging the environment. The support provided in the agricultural sector is mainly concentrated in large economies, China, giving 36 percent of total support, is ranked first by passing other OECD economies. India, USA and EU provide 14 percent and 13 percent of the total support given to agriculture. The agricultural supports in China and India also constitutes 87 percent of the support provided by emerging economies within the scope of the report, while the support between the US and EU, the OECD countries is two. In this 54 country, the annual support is calculated from the government budgets of 518 billion dollars, the remaining 333 billion dollars are provided through different policies. While both types of support have been ongoing for the last 5 years, high prices in international markets lead to providing lower price support to agriculture. Global agriculture has experienced exceptional conditions due to the war that Russia started in Ukraine after the coronal epidemic. [

]‘Agricultural production should adapt to less favorable growth conditions’]
In addition to acute crises such as price shocks and the war of Russia-Ukraine, agricultural production is under the pressure of growing events that go to the severity of the climate change worldwide, excessive precipitation and drought. According to the OECD, agricultural production in most regions of the world is urgently less conducive and more variable growth conditions, and it is necessary to effectively act in countries to ensure this harmony. Agriculture is recommended to prepare for a future that climate change brings new risks and worsen existing fragility, while increasing the need for agricultural policies that promote harmony to a changing environment, increasing the support of public services, research and development, biosafety and infrastructure investments that will benefit the sector.
