Abstract

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2007 Report projects that the climate could warm by as much as 5°C over the next 100 years and estimates that we have already seen a warming of about 0.7°C since 1900. Agriculture is one of the vulnerable sectors affected by climate change. The aim of this paper is to explain the possible effects of climate change on food sector in Turkey.
