Abstract

Numerous studies have highlighted the detrimental effects of COVID-19 disruptions on various aspects of rural farming communities worldwide, including economic status, food security and nutritional status. However, despite this extensive literature, there is a striking gap in understanding the nuanced impacts of these disruptions on different segments of smallholder goat keepers, particularly in the Eastern Mediterranean region of Turkiye. The aim of this study is to shed light on the multifaceted impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on goat farming and the local community in rural areas. Data was collected to examine the impact of COVID-19 on various dimensions such as input use, agricultural production (livestock and crops, etc.), market accessibility and food safety among goat farmers in Tufanbeyli, Feke and Karatas districts of Turkiye. The results showed that goat farming in rural areas under the pressure of COVID-19 had a negative impact on input management and marketing. In addition, it was found that breeders suffered economic setbacks, particularly due to the disruption to production and family nutrition caused by COVID-19.

评估 COVID-19 大流行对地中海农村地区山羊养殖系统的影响

大量研究强调了 COVID-19 干扰对全球农村农业社区各个方面的不利影响，包括经济状况、粮食安全和营养状况。然而，尽管有这些广泛的文献，但在了解这些干扰对小农山羊饲养者不同群体的细微影响方面仍存在显著差距，尤其是在土耳其东地中海地区。本研究旨在阐明 COVID-19 大流行对山羊养殖业和农村地区当地社区的多方面影响。通过收集数据，研究 COVID-19 对土耳其 Tufanbeyli、Feke 和 Karatas 地区山羊养殖户的投入品使用、农业生产（牲畜和农作物等）、市场准入和食品安全等各方面的影响。结果表明，在 COVID-19 的压力下，农村地区的山羊养殖对投入品管理和销售产生了负面影响。此外，还发现饲养者遭受了经济损失，特别是由于 COVID-19 对生产和家庭营养造成的破坏。
