Abstract

In Turkey, the numbers of studies that deal with agriculture and food as a system and process, and that address the issue with an integrated approach are very limited. Besides, there is no empirical study available in the national literature in which agricultural and food system has been analyzed within the framework of applied ethics. The present study aims to investigate the characteristics of food and agricultural engineers and veterinary physicians in terms of their tendency to carry out ethical evaluations when faced with issues falling under the field of agriculture and food ethics, and detect their capacity to identify ethical problems.A cross-sectional survey was employed in this study. Descriptive statistics like percentages and frequencies based on the scores from the scale were used. Data were collected via survey method from three occupational groups, namely, food and agricultural engineers and veterinary physicians working in 12 regions of Turkey, and analyzed using chi-square and score test. A total of 865 professionals from 55 different cities participated in the study. Data concerning participants' level of ethics awareness regarding the identification and evaluation of ethical problems in the fields of food and agriculture were obtained. While the participating professionals could easily detect the problems in food and agriculture system that carried no ethical dilemma, they had difficulty in identifying issues that involved ethical dilemmas. It was also revealed that there was a significant difference between professionals in terms of their perception of ethical problems, demonstrating the need for a comprehensive ethics education to be imparted during and after under-graduate.

土耳其食品和农业工程师和兽医在农业和食品系统方面的伦理评估能力。
在土耳其,将农业和粮食作为一个系统和过程来处理,并以综合方法解决问题的研究数量非常有限。此外,在国家文献中没有在应用伦理学框架内分析农业和粮食系统的实证研究。本研究旨在探讨食品与农业工程师和兽医在面对农业和食品伦理领域的问题时进行伦理评估的倾向,并检测他们识别伦理问题的能力。本研究采用横断面调查法。使用了描述性统计数据,如基于量表得分的百分比和频率。采用调查法收集了土耳其12个地区的食品与农业工程师和兽医三个职业群体的数据,并采用卡方检验和得分检验进行分析。共有来自55个不同城市的865名专业人士参与了这项研究。获得了关于与会者在确定和评价粮食和农业领域的伦理问题方面的伦理意识水平的数据。虽然参与的专业人员可以很容易地发现粮食和农业系统中不存在道德困境的问题,但他们很难识别涉及道德困境的问题。调查还显示,专业人员对道德问题的看法存在显著差异,这表明在本科期间和毕业后都需要进行全面的道德教育。
