Descripción
As urbanization rises globally, with cities housing over half the world’s population and expected to reach 70 percent by 2050, Ankara stands out as both a capital city and an important agricultural centre. Recent increases in agricultural areas around Ankara highlight the city's active agricultural ecosystem. To address these trends, the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, in collaboration with FAO and the Nature Conservation Centre, has launched the "Support for the Improvement of Peri-Urban Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods" project. This initiative aims to boost agricultural production and international competitiveness.The project focuses on three strategic areas: Smart Agriculture, Competent Farmers and Strong Cooperatives, New-Generation Rural Tourism.It includes ten strategic objectives and thirty proposals, emphasizing value chain analyses, farmer training, and a comprehensive action plan. Projects are categorized into "top priority" for immediate implementation by the municipality and "negotiated projects" for broader stakeholder involvement, ensuring a practical and effective approach to enhancing agriculture and rural livelihoods in Ankara
