Bu çalışmada Iğdır ilinde ve ilçelerinde bitki üretimi yapan tarım işletmesi sahiplerinin bitki korumayla ilgili uygulamalarını gerçekleştirirken, tabiata ve insan sağlığına verebilecekleri zarar hakkında bilgili olup olmadıkları araştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri Gıda, Tarım ve Hayvancılık Bakanlığı Iğdır İl Müdürlüğünün Çiftçi Kayıt Sisteminde kayıtlı toplam 104 tarım işletmesinin sahipleriyle yüz yüze yapılan anket çalışmalarıyla elde edilmiştir. Tarım ilâçlarının çevreye zararı konusunda çiftçilerin yarısına yakın kısmının zarar yoktur demesi, dörtte birinin de kalıntılar konusunda zararsız olacağını ifade etmesi çiftçinin bilinç seviyesinde yetersizliği ifade etmektedir. Bilhassa ilâçlama âletlerinin temizleme sularının atılmasında yeterli dikkatin gösterilmemesi, ilâç ambalajları ile kalan ilâçların muhafaza ve imhasındaki cevaplar çiftçilerin hem çevre hem de ziraî mücadele konusunda ki bilinçsizliğini göstermektedir. Environmental Awareness of Agricultural Enterprises in the Igdir Province of Turkey at Implementation of Plant Protection In this study, it was researched if farmers from the Igdir Province of Turkey have knowledge and awareness on effect of plant protection implementations on environment and human health. The data were collected from 104 enterprises, which have been recorded in Farmer Records System of the Igdir Province directorate of Food, Agriculture and Livestock Ministry, through discussions face to face. Almost half of the farmers told that pesticides are harmless, and one forth that pesticide residues are harmless, which shows insufficiency in conciseness of farmers. Especially, that no attention was given cleaning water’ deposits, removing empty chemical’s packages, and storing remaining pesticides, showed lack of awareness on plant protection and environment.

COVID 19 has raised the profile of biosecurity. However, biosecurity is not only about protecting human life. This issue brings together mini-reviews examining recent developments and thinking around some of the tools, behaviours and concepts around biosecurity. They illustrate the multi-disciplinary nature of the subject, demonstrating the interface between research and policy. Biosecurity practices aim to prevent the spread of harmful organisms; recognising that 2020 is the International Year of Plant Health, several focus on plant biosecurity although invasive species and animal health concerns are also captured. The reviews show progress in developing early warning systems and that plant protection organisations are increasingly using tools that compare multiple pest threats to prioritise responses. The bespoke modelling of threats can inform risk management responses and synergies between meteorology and biosecurity provide opportunities for increased collaboration. There is scope to develop more generic models, increasing their accessibility to policy makers. Recent research can improve pest surveillance programs accounting for real-world constraints. Social science examining individual farmer behaviours has informed biosecurity policy; taking a broader socio-cultural approach to better understand farming networks has the potential to change behaviours in a new way. When encouraging public recreationists to adopt positive biosecurity behaviours communications must align with their values. Bringing together the human, animal, plant and environmental health sectors to address biosecurity risks in a common and systematic manner within the One Biosecurity concept can be achieved through multi-disciplinary working involving the life, physical and social sciences with the support of legislative bodies and the public.

This study aims to identify the determinants that influence the attitudes of consumers of green purchases and the willingness to pay more on green products, specifically on energy-saving lighting products. The variables studied included environmental knowledge, environmental awareness and perceived effectiveness. The sample of this study was 196 students, but out of 196 respondents after the questionnaire was distributed only 189 could be processed. Validity and reliability test results show valid values of loading factors of more than 0.4 while for reliability testing using the cronbach’s alpha criteria above 0.5 indicates reliable. Through the multiple linear regression analysis, the variables of environmental knowledge, environmental awareness and effectiveness are felt to have a positive and significant effect on the attitude of buying and willingness to pay more. Green purchasing attitudes and willingness to pay more have a positive and significant effect on green purchasing behavior. Green purchasing attitudes have a greater influence on green purchasing behavior compared to willingness to pay more.
