In fact, warning of disasters as a result of climate change is given for the near future, but these disasters are happening these days. Unusual climate events have been becoming usual. Disasters caused by excessive rainfall are experienced one after the other. Hurricanes very rarely ex- perienced in Turkey and neighboring countries previously are now a part of everyday talk because of climate change. One of these hurricanes missed Turkey but hit Greece that caused great havoc in this country. Because of extreme rainfall, many people could not harvest in the Southeast Anatolia and also carry out the winter sowing. Thus, every country should make the climate change a priority without thinking that this change will not affect them and assume responsibility for precaution. The importance of sustainable agriculture has been evident as a result of rapid increase in population of Tur- key and the world. The sufficient yield that meets farm- ers’ labor and enables industrialists to compete in the foreign market and the creation of balanced price policy are inevitable for the sustainability of agriculture-based industry. It is vital to cultivate the agricultural products inside of the country that meet the industrialists’ need in quality and amount; and also these products should be in the price range that satisfies the farmers and allows the industrialists for competition in foreign markets. Considering that dryland agriculture is carried out in the eighty percent of the total agricultural land of Turkey, it is evident that the agricultural production is directly related to the rainfall. So, studies show that climate change will lower the production productivity in Turkey between fifteen and twenty-five percent. According to the 2018 Crop Production Statistics re- leased by Turkish Statistical Institute, the production amount is lowered at 5.8 percent in grain and other crops and 2.6 percent in vegetables when compared to the previous year. Because of the decrease in yield and quality, the increase in imports and the decrease in exports are inevitable. That’s why harmonization works with climate change should be accelerated. It is very important that each share- holder works for common targets and strategies in a coor- dinated and organized fashion for this necessity. The fight against climate change and adaptation strate- gies should be put in place and implemented. In this sense, some precautions can be taken: planning can be carried out in the anticipation of possible changes in the climate; bu etkenler neticesinde dünyada fiyat artışları meydana geliyor. İklim değişikliği nedeniyle oluşabilecek felaket uyarıları yakın gelecek için yazılıyordu ama artık günümüzde yaşa- nır hale geldi. Olağan üstü iklim olayları artık olağan hale gelmeye başladı. Aşırı yağışların sebep olduğu felaketler ardı ardına yaşanıyor. Daha önce ülkemizde ve komşu ülkelerde pek rastlanmayan kasırgalar değişen ilkim ko- şullarından dolayı artık konuşulmaya başlandı. Bunlar- dan biri geçen yıl ülkemizi teğet geçerken komşumuz Yunanistan’a büyük zararlar verdi. Güneydoğu’da birçok yerde aşırı yağışlar yüzünden hasatlar yapılamazken kışlık ekimlerde gerçekleşmedi. Hiçbir ülke ben bundan olum- suz etkilenmem demeden iklim değişikliğini birinci vazife olarak görmeli ve önlem alma konusunda elini taşın altına koymalıdır. Ülkemiz ve dünya nüfusunun hızla artması, sürdürü- lebilir tarımın önemini bir kez daha ortaya koymaktadır. Çiftçimizin emeğini karşılayacak ve sanayicinin dış pazar- da rekabet edebileceği yeterli verim alınması ve dengeli bir fiyat politikası oluşturulması, tarıma dayalı sanayinin sürdürülebilirliği için elzemdir. Tarım ürünlerinin sanayinin ihtiyacına yetecek miktarda ve kalitede, çiftçinin alın teri- nin karşılığını alacağı, sanayicinin dış piyasalarda rekabet
