    Covid-19, tarım ve gıda: Dünyada ve Türkiye'de neler yaşandı, neler yaşanacak?

    Articulation and Disarticulation of Kars Cheeses Within Dairy Commodity Chains
    (Cambridge University Press, 2026) Tatari, M. Fatih; Nizam, Derya
    There has been growing public interest in traditional cheese production and consumption over the past decade, in contrast to the 1990s and 2000s, when food safety regulations excluded traditional cheesemakers from Turkey's dairy commodity chains. This article focuses on two cheeses, Kars Ka & scedil;ar & imath; and Bo & gbreve;atepe Gravyeri, designated in 2015 with national Geographical Indication and international Slow Food Presidium labels. Drawing on archival and long-term ethnographic research, we trace the historical trajectory of commercial dairying in Kars and its articulation and disarticulation within national and international commodity chains. Against the backdrop of twentieth-century transformations, we investigate how place-based labels have contested neoliberal agricultural policies that imposed industrialization and standardization on the dairy sector. We argue that the re-articulation of Kars in the 2010s relied on community development and collective action, and practices negotiating between tradition and standardization to establish new conventions of quality. This article conceptualizes re-articulation as a transformative socio-ecological process rather than a simple reversal of disarticulation. It demonstrates how peripheral regions re-enter markets through locally negotiated strategies balancing standardization, authenticity, and solidarity. It also foregrounds material and ecological relations, recognizing the agency of non-human elements - such as pastures and artisanal tools - in shaping value and quality.

    Place, Food, and Agriculture: the Use of Geographical Indications in Olive Oil Production in Western Turkey
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2017) Nizam, Derya
    This study concerns how olive oil producers and local bureaucrats in western Turkey use geographical indications (GIs) as a localist strategy to strengthen their position in global markets by challenging conventional agricultural practices. The study employs the disarticulation approach of global commodity chain analysis in order to understand which factors delink people and places from conventional commodity chains/industrial chains and link them instead to GI chains. The results of the study indicate that regional disadvantagese.g., high production costs due to land characteristicsare the main factor delinking local actors from the conventional olive oil commodity chain. Furthermore, certain dynamic rent opportunities that are related to characteristics of territorial quality and to local cultural characteristics also contribute to the linking of the region and producers to GI chains.

    Seed Politics in Turkey: the Awakening of a Landrace Wheat and Its Prospects
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Nizam, Derya; Yenal, Zafer
    This article analyses the current state of seed politics in Turkey focusing on the recent appropriation and commercialization of a wheat landrace, Karakilcik bugdayi (black-awn wheat) in Seferihisar, a small coastal town in the Aegean. It lays bare the long-drawn-out, often arduous but politically innovative processes that brought together various stakeholders, including the local municipality, a seed preservation centre, producer cooperatives, and urban-based alternative food networks. This paper argues that institutional mechanisms with strong grassroots support have the potential to weave together small-producer initiatives and disparate consumer interests and imbue them with the power to transform national agriculture and food politics.

    New Rural Development Versus the Familiar Rural Motherhood: the Commercialization of Local Foods and Its Effect on Gender Roles
    (Istanbul Univ, Fac Letters, Dept Sociology, 2020) Nizam Bilgiç, Derya
    In recent years, promoting local foods and local cuisine has become an essential feature of rural development projects, which aim to empower women in rural areas and generate supplementary income (from agricultural production) to small-size farming units. This study aims to discuss the ideological, cultural, social, and economic barriers that shape the ways in which rural women conduct their entrepreneurial activities based on the sale of local homemade foods. By focusing on women's daily practices in domestic and professional life and how these shape and constrain their entrepreneurship, the study aims to debate the impacts commercializing local foods has had on existing gender roles. For this purpose, a case study has been conducted on the local food markets in Seferihisar, Izmir where rural women sell homemade food products (dolmas, stuffed artichoke, pastry, sweet pastry, bread, and tomato sauce). The source data, drawn from 27 in-depth and 131 survey interviews, have been triangulated in order to develop the body of the findings. Women's entrepreneurship is argued to be able to contribute to a fairer food system, but this is based on having political programs where women participate in the decision-making process. Such factors in turn influence the process of feminizing agriculture and strengthening women as actors of rural change and the corresponding decline in the stereotypical images of rural motherhood that reinforce traditional gender roles. Within this context, the most important impact and consequence of the local markets in Seferihisar is not the visibility of local foods in the markets through women's efforts but rather women's increase visibility in the public sphere due to their producing local foods.

    Pandemi Sürecinde Tarım Sorununu Yeniden Düşünmek
    (2021) Nizam Bilgiç, Derya
    Bu çalışma COVID-19 salgınıyla birlikte tarımsal üretimin aksayacağı ve gıda krizinin yaşanacağına dair endişenin hüküm sürdüğü bir ortamda tarım sorununu bugün yeniden nasıl ele almak gerektiğini sorunsallaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. “Tarım sorunu” tanımlaması en geniş anlamda tarımda kapitalizmin gelişme yasalarına dair bir sorgulamaya işaret etmektedir. Klasik ekonomi politik perspektif üzerinden bakıldığında tarım sorunu kırda sermaye birikimi ve kapitalist üretim ilişkilerinin gelişmesi önündeki engellere işaret eder. Ekonomi politik yaklaşım tarımın artık kapitalistleştiği, meta üretimine ve dünya ekonomisine entegre olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Bu anlamda bildiğimiz “tarım sorunu” geçerliliğini yitirmiştir. Post-yapısalcı perspektif ise verimlilik ve ekonomik büyüme odaklı küresel şirket gıda rejimine karşı köylülerin verdiği mücadelelerle birlikte yeni toplumsal hareketlerin ortaya çıktığına işaret eder. Sağlıklı gıda, çevre dostu üretim, müşterekler ve gıda egemenliği gibi çeşitli değerler etrafında birleşen toplumsal hareketler tarımın sanayileşmesi ve kapitalistleşmesine karşı direnç geliştirmektedir. Bu yaklaşıma göre tarım sorunu tarımın siyasi bir inşa-süreç olarak nasıl örgütlenmesi gerektiğine dair bir sorundur. Ne var ki günümüze kadar alternatif bir düzenin oluşturulmasında uygulanacak politikaların ölçeği ve yönetim birimi konusunda yeni bir siyasi dilin oluşamadığı görülmektedir. Salgınla birlikte açlık ve kıtlık endişesinin artmasına neden olan temel sorun tarımsal üretimin hangi ölçekte planlanması ve yönetilmesi gerektiğine dair bu siyasi dilin eksikliğinin keşfidir. Bu bağlamda, çalışma bugün tarım sorununun tarımsal üretimin hangi ölçekte planlanması ve yönetilmesi gerektiğiyle ilgili bir sorgu alanına dönüştüğünü iddia etmektedir. Ne ekonomi politik ne postyapısalcı yaklaşımlarından biri yanında yer alarak değil, ancak alternatif bir bakış açısıyla bu siyasi dil kurulabilir. Bu bağlamda; tarım sorunu yereldeki mülkiyet ilişkilerinden ve küresel yönetim sorunundan bağımsız düşünülemeyecek bir sorundur.
