Agricultural economic structure and humanity balance in Küçünlü Village

Abstract

Küçünlü Village (KV) is a village located in the Thrace Region of Edirne Province. This region is very important for Turkey's grain and oil sunflower production. In this research, the assumption is set out that "producers in KV cannot do agriculture at the size of an economic enterprise". With this assumption, it has been resolved by considering the size of the land where the communities in the village cultivate agricultural activities between the years 2012-2022. The subject has been discussed with explanatory research and historical structuralist approach model. The finding that the desired increase in the total land assets of the producers still continuing production could not be achieved, that the producers are moving away from the active working age range in agriculture day by day, and that sustainable agriculture cannot be achieved in the future has been obtained through observation, structured personal interviews and survey methods.
