Farmers fight to adapt as droughts loom in COP31 host Turkey
By Ezgi Erkoyun, Helen Reid and Simon JessopSOKE, Turkey, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Farmer Mehmet Kabak has grown cotton on the same land in drought-prone western Turkey for decades. This year he is planting wheat and sunflower instead, in part because they require less water, making them cheaper to grow.Kabak is one of many farmers worldwide forced to find their own way to cope with a changing climate rather than wait for countries to settle long-standing arguments at annual climate talks over who should finance adaptation.
