In this context, this study aims to answer the question of " Is the Turkish agricultural sector able to ensure self-sufficiency and food security? For this purpose, self-sufficiency is first examined on the basis of the adequacy of the product classes, then on the basis of the ratio of meeting calorie needs. Finally, based on the 2019 data of the Global Food Security Index (GFSI) study, using the integrated DEA / AHP approach, Turkish agriculture is analyzed in terms of food security from a sample of 30 OECD countries. When the findings are examined, it is deemed necessary for self-sufficiency to increase production in terms of dry legumes, grain total and other grains total. Similarly, it is necessary to ensure the continuity of the increase in production observed in recent years in products such as beef, sunflower and rice. In terms of food security, it is important to adopt remedial policies, especially in terms of affordability and natural resources and durability.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSelf-SufficiencyFood SecurityData Envelopment AnalysisAnalytic Hierarchy ProcessArticle93N/AN/A163016521160874WOS:000891887100010
