In this study, the chemical constituents of Origanum onites, Salvia officinalis and Lavandula officinalis plants belonging to Lamiaceae family grown by conventional and organic methods were determined by soxhlet extraction. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) method was used to determine the chemical constituents of conventionally and organically grown plant samples. When the results of the analyses were examined, out of 97 chemical components of Salvia officinalis plant, 50 components were determined from plants grown with conventional farming methods and 78 components were determined from plants grown with organic farming methods. Of the 38 components detected in Origanum onites, 36 components were determined from plants grown with conventional farming methods and 38 components were determined from plants grown with organic farming methods. Out of 60 components of Lavandula officinalis, 40 components were determined from plants grown with conventional farming methods and 60 components were determined from plants grown with organic farming methods. In terms of chemical structure, the components are divided into different classes as hydrocarbons, monoterpenes, monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenes, sesquiterpenoids, diterpenes, diterpenoids, fatty acids and derivatives, and phenolic compounds.

The problems of agricultural production in Turkey vary by multidimensional social changes and transformations in different periods. It is considered that the changes and transformations in the 1950s, 1960s, 1980s and 1990s are very important milestones for Turkish agriculture. The effects of mechanization in agricultural production in the 1950s, and after the policies depending on import substitution and subsidies that implemented from 1960s to 1980s, the opening of the Turkish agriculture to foreign investment caused serious problems in agriculture sector. In this paper, firstly, it will be assessed the growing poverty and unemployment in rural areas, the dependency relationships experienced with the dominant effects of foreign companies at every stage of production and the devastating effects of advanced industrial production technologies on the nature and human health, and then it is aimed to offer some alternative solutions because of unsustainable of the existing agricultural policies and conventional (common) production. These alternatives are natural agriculture (Fukuoka agricalture) and changing capitalist system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
