Self-produced food and vulnerability to poverty in Turkey
Yoksullukla mücadelede ileriye dönük politika geliştirebilmek için yoksulluğa karşı kırılganlığı araştırmak kritik önemdedir. Bu çalışmada kendi üretiminden tüketimi, kırılganlığı azaltabilecek bir strateji olarak iki açıdan irdelemekteyim: gıda ve gıda dışı tüketim. İlk olarak, kendi üretiminden tüketim yapan kırsal hanelerin tüketim sepetinin tamamen perakende satın alınan gıdayla beslenen diğer kırsal hanelerin tüketim sepetinden farklı ve daha ucuz olduğunu göstermekteyim. İkinci olarak, kendi üretiminden tüketim yapan hanelerin toplam tüketim söz konusu olduğunda diğer kırsal haneler kadar kırılgan olmalarına rağmen; gıda yoksulluğu söz konusu olduğunda kırılganlıklarının çok daha az olduğunu göstermekteyim. Bu bulgular orta gelir düzeyindeki ülkelerde bile kendi üretiminden tüketim yapabilmenin yoksulluğa karşı kırılganlığı azaltıcı bir strateji olarak öneminin altını çizmiştir.
Türkiye’de kendi üretiminden tüketim ve yoksulluğa karşı kırılganlık
Investigating vulnerability to poverty is crucial to the development of forward- looking policies to fight poverty. I investigate the consumption of self-produced food as a strategy available to households to mitigate vulnerability in two dimensions: food and non-food consumption. First, I show that the consumption baskets of rural households that produce their own food are different and less expensive than those other rural households, which rely exclusively on retail food purchases. Second, I also show that while self-producing rural households are as vulnerable to basic needs poverty as other rural households, they are much less vulnerable to food poverty. These results underscore the importance of the ability to consume self-produced food as a vulnerability-mitigating strategy even in middle- income countries.
