Abstract
After a brief description of the past and present agricultural situation in Turkey this paper gives an account of two development projects aimed at the utilization of fallow areas: the Corum-Cankiri Rural Development Project, begun in the late 1970s, and the Utilization of Fallow Areas Project, started in 1982 and now into its second phase. Its research is run by four Agricultural Research Institutes, and focuses on three main issues; crop improvement, crop rotations and crop management. It is backed up by a strong and effective extension program.
