FORMS OF PREVENTING HUNGER AND ENSURING FOOD SECURITY IN TRADITIONAL VILLAGE LIFE

Summary/Abstract: People benefit from various animals and plants to meet their food needs and pass on their experiences in this direction from generation to generation. Villagers sometimes feed on animals and plants they grow, and sometimes on plants and animals that exist spontaneously in nature. The people living in the village have done various studies to prevent hunger and ensure food security by diversifying food and developing storage methods. In this research, the food diversity situation between 1878-1960 in the villages of Oltu, Olur, Tortum, Uzundere, Narman and Şenkaya districts of Erzurum province was revealed. It focuses on the efforts to prevent hunger, which the villagers implement in their self-sufficient lives, away from the products produced in the city. The researcher determined the forms of preventing hunger and providing food security by making participant observations and in-depth interviews over a period of approximately five years (2016-2021). As a result of the research, it has been determined that hunger is prevented and food security is ensured by raising various animals and products, storing them, expanding agricultural lands, making use of edible weeds and wild animals, using water effectively, assuming social responsibilities, providing food for the disadvantaged and getting rid of dependence on others. On the other hand, solidarity and sharing are very important for the village community.
