Abstract

Bu
araştırmanın üç önemli amacı bulunmaktadır, ilki kadınların organik tarımı
benimseme/benimsememe olasılığını etkileyen sosyo-ekonomik faktörlerin belirlenmesi,
ikincisi organik tarım ile ilgili bilinç düzeylerinin ve uygulamalarının ne
olduğunun ortaya konması, üçüncüsü ise organik tarımın yaygınlaştırılması için
öneriler getirilmesidir. Araştırma Türkiye’de organik tarım yapan üretici
sayısının en yüksek olduğu Aydın ilinde gerçekleştirilmiş ve 91 kadın ile
görüşülmüştür. Kadınların organik tarımı benimseyip/benimsememe olasılığını
etkileyen faktörler belirlenirken lojistik regresyon modeli kullanılmıştır.
Model sonucuna göre, kadının baba mesleğinin çiftçi olması, eğitim düzeyi,
hanedeki çocuk sayısı, tarımsal faaliyetlere katılma durumu, mesleki eğitime
katılma, kadınlara yönelik projeleri takip etme, yeniliklere açık olma, hayatında
idealine yakın olup/olmama durumu, organik tarım konusunda kavramsal olarak
bilinçli olup/olmama, kendine ait gelirin olması, organik tarımı benimseme
olasılığını etkilemektedir. Kadınların %60.4’ü aile işletmelerinde organik
tarıma adapte olmuş çalışırken, sadece %42’si organik tarımın gerçek tanımını
tam olarak bilmektedir. Kadınların %50.5’i eşleriyle karar alma süreçlerine
katılmaktadır. Araştırmaya katılan kadınların %78’i ilerde organik tarım yapmak
istemektedir. Bu kapsamda, kadınlara yönelik mesleki kurslar verilmesi,
kadınların girişimci olabilmesi için desteklenmesi, yayım faaliyetleri yoluyla bilgi
düzeylerinin artırılması ve örgütlenmeleri önem taşımaktadır.
