Abstract

Rural development policies aim to raise the people living in rural areas to the level of the cities in agricultural, economic, social and cultural issues and to increase their living standards. Rural areas in Turkey are areas where a significant portion of the population is engaged in agriculture. Improving the infrastructure of agricultural enterprises will increase the living standards of the people living in rural areas. Turkey should support its rural infrastructure in order to be competitive in rural development. In this sense, with the order of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of the Republic of Turkey, the first 50% grant support, and the Rural Development Investments Support Program started to be implemented in the whole country with the decision of the Council of Ministers in 2011. In 2021, the support continued in two different parts under the name of agricultural-based economic investments and supporting rural economic infrastructure investments. In the study, Kastamonu province, which has an important potential, was examined in terms of rural development.
