Abstract :Global climate change is increasingly manifesting its effects day by day, and Turkey is also facing various adverse influences such as temperature fluctuations, excessive rainfall, drought, and storms. Each region within Turkey\'s borders has its own unique soil structure, contributing to agricultural diversity. Climate change complicates the cultivation of agricultural products, affecting both product quality and yield, and impacts agricultural labor. Furthermore, it can exert pressure on agriculture by causing social and economic issues. An interdisciplinary approach is essential to examine the effects of meteorological events resulting from climate change. Given the direct impact of climate change on agricultural and food security, it is crucial to analyze its root causes in this field. Measures must be taken to monitor indicators, understand the extent of their effects, and provide explanations accordingly. Evaluating the problems caused by meteorological disasters stemming from climate change on agricultural and food production, along with analyzing soil-economic impacts, is vital for developing solution-oriented recommendations. First, studies aimed at identifying the adversities caused by climate change and formulating scenarios to mitigate them should be planned. Subsequently, strategies should be developed to minimize the negative impacts.
