The Turkish Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Ibrahim Yumakli calls for strengthening international cooperation to deal with climate crises.
Yomakli said during a session as part of the UN Climate Conference "COP 31" held in Antalya, Turkey:
- Food systems face risks such as climate change, rising temperatures, droughts, floods and extreme weather events.
- We see a need to make use of scientific data and digital technologies to address climate risks, and improve manufacturers' access to information and appropriate tools.
- Our goal is to maintain the continuity of production and the livelihood of our farmers, while ensuring the transfer of natural resources to future generations.
No country can overcome these challenges alone. We must increase practical measures that support producers, preserve natural resources and improve the continuity of food supply in the face of crises.
