Özet:

Agriculture is an important and strategic sector for the country’s nutrition, employment and development. It is also a sensitive sector because it is related to nature-related production. The food of the world’s population can only be supplied by regular agricultural production. Especially in recent years, the world is faced with the risk of hunger due to the crisis and global warming. Reducing water resources have a significant impact on agricultural production. As a result of all this, the ability to adequate and regularly feed the growing world population depends on the development of the agricultural sector, minimizing agricultural risks. When we look at the development of agricultural insurance in Turkey, Turkey has long been given no necessary attention to agriculture and agricultural insurance, despite its importance in the country. Until the late 1980s, agricultural insurance in Turkey could be carried out by private companies at a limited level. The Agricultural Insurance Foundation was established in 1995. This foundation has collaborated with some institutions and organizations in the process until the extension of the Agricultural Insurance Act, supporting insurance companies operating in the Agricultural Insurance Branch. As a result of all the studies carried out, after the examination and evaluation of the practices of the different countries concerned, the Agricultural Insurance Act was adopted in 2005. In 2006 he started the work of the Farming Insurance Pool and TARSIM. While the new system is determined in Turkey, the examples of the various countries examined have been taken as a model, considering that the agricultural insurance system of Spain will be more suitable. Spain has a world-developed system in this regard with the United States. With the new system created by the model of the system in Spain, significant developments have been made in the field of agricultural insurance in Turkey.
