Sürdürülebilir Tarımsal Pazarlama İçin Tarım Politikasına Etki Eden Kriterlerin Değerlendirilmesinde Bwm Çok Kriterli Karar Verme Yöntemi Uygulaması.

In a competitive economy, agricultural policy must be implemented with a balanced sustainability approach by supporting producers in agricultural production. In recent years, it has been argued that global climate change, local/international marketing dynamics and local/international agricultural policy changes have more impact on the agricultural sector. Governments and international organizations are making intense efforts to develop sustainable policies in the agricultural sector to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While research on the adoption of new practices and new strategies in agriculture continues to grow and develop, agricultural policy practices offer new opportunities for agricultural marketing. The main purpose of this study is to determine and rank the importance level weights of the criteria affecting agricultural policy for sustainable agricultural marketing. In determining the criteria weights, the Best Worst method (BWM) from the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods was preferred. The research proposes a framework for determining the weights of the appropriate criteria for agricultural policy strategy selection through a combined approach of multi-criteria decision making involving relevant stakeholders in an environment of uncertainty. According to the research results, project costs were determined to be the most important criterion for decision makers. This was followed by social benefits and employment opportunities criteria, respectively. When determining agricultural policy strategies for sustainable agricultural marketing, economic, social and environmental criteria may influence the evaluation of policy makers and stakeholders. Therefore, when determining strategies in agricultural policy, more importance should be given to sustainability approaches, taking into account all these factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
