Abstract :The European Union insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EU); not only carries out some studies to ensure economic and social development but also frames policies to find solutions to emerging problems both within its borders and concerning the countries. The most important and recent of these policies is the European Green Deal, which is also intended for the agricultural sector and many others to tackle global warming and climate change better. This concept is on the agenda as the EU has made the Deal mandatory due to adverse circumstances such as an unprecedented pandemic, climate change, and droughts. One of the most important topics within the scope of the Deal is “From Farm to Fork”: for a fair, healthy, and environmentally-friendly food system. Farm to Fork aims to make food systems fair, healthy, and environmentally friendly. Considering its relations with the EU, Türkiye has started to create several arrangements in its policies in line with this title. However, since academic studies on the effects of the Deal on agriculture are limited, this study has been mainly conducted to address this shortcoming. Therefore, this review aims to evaluate the possible impacts of the Deal process developments within the framework of Türkiye - EU economic relations, especially in the agricultural sector. In conclusion, the Deal will not only offer solutions to climate change but also secure a lot of support for the development and growth of economies. Türkiye should make good use of these assets within the framework of a win-win approach. Türkiye should see the Deal as an opportunity for transition into a low-carbon economy in the context of agriculture and climate change.
