Özet:

 Thanks to its economic and social impacts, agriculture is one of the pillars of a countrys economy. The agricultural sector supplies raw materials to many sectors and enables the creation of more value-added products. In addition, the agricultural sector maintains its importance by continuing to feed the cities in terms of food and various raw materials despite the loss of population in rural areas where agricultural activities are carried out over time, increasing the productivity of countries in agricultural areas and its place in foreign trade. Agriculture 4.0 smart agriculture, on the other hand, offers economic contributions in terms of minimizing labor power and production input costs, producing high quality and quantity products and increasing the income from farms in return for this production. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors associated with agricultural productivity in the context of smart agriculture Agriculture 4.0 in BRICS-T countries. Panel data analysis method was used in the study. The unique value of this study lies in the econometric analysis of the factors associated with agricultural productivity within the scope of Agriculture 4.0 for the relevant year range and country group.According to the results of Dumitrescu-Hurlin Panel Causality Test, a unidirectional causality relationship was found between agricultural productivity index API and urbanization rate URR, and a bidirectional causality relationship between human capital index HCI and API. Consequently, agricultural development and urbanisation policies should also focus on human capital development. This may be beneficial for countries in increasing agricultural productivity and overall welfare.

 Ekonomik ve sosyal etkileri sayesinde tarım, bir ülke ekonomisinin temelini oluşturan unsurlardandır. Tarım sektörü birçok sektöre hammadde tedarik etmekte ve daha fazla katma değerli ürün ortaya çıkmasını sağlamaktadır. Ayrıca tarım sektörü, tarımsal faaliyetlerin yapıldığı kırsal alanlarda zamanla ortaya çıkan nüfus kaybına rağmen kentleri gıda ve çeşitli hammaddeler açısından beslemeyi sürdürmesi, ülkelerin tarımsal alanlarda verimliliğini arttırıcı etkisi ve dış ticaretteki yeri ile önemini korumaktadır. Tarım 4.0 akıllı tarım ise emek gücü ile üretim girdi maliyetlerini minimize ederek yüksek kaliteli, miktarlı ürün üretimi ve bu üretim karşılığında çiftliklerden temin edilen gelirlerin arttırılması noktasında ekonomik katkılar sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, BRICS-T ülkelerinde akıllı tarım Tarım 4.0 bağlamında tarımsal verimlilik ile ilişkili faktörlerin araştırılmasıdır. Çalışmada panel veri analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın özgün değeri, ilgili yıl aralığı ve ülke grubu için Tarım 4.0 kapsamında tarımsal verimlilik ile ilişkilendirilen faktörlerin ekonometrik bir yöntem ile incelenmesi noktasında ortaya çıkmaktadır. Dumitrescu-Hurlin Panel Nedensellik Test sonuçlarına göre, tarımsal verimlilik endeksinden TVE kentleşme oranına KNT doğru tek yönlü; beşeri sermaye endeksi BS ile TVE arasında ise çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, tarımsal kalkınma ve kentleşme politikaları kapsamında beşeri sermayenin geliştirilmesine de odaklanılması gerekmektedir. Bu durum, tarımsal üretkenliği ve genel refahı artırmada ülkeler için faydalı olabilir.
