TY - EJOU AU - T1 - Valorization of Hazelnut Biomass Framework in Turkey: Support and Model Guidelines from the Italian Experience in the Field of Renewable Energy T2 - International Journal of Sustainable Energy and Environmental Research PY - 2014 VL - 3 IS - 3 SN - 2306-6253 AB - In this study, we   illustrate the results which were obtained using a comparative protocol concerning hazelnut production framework with special references to  Turkey and Italy. Investigation includes supply,    exports and several internal organization patterns. Emphasis was laid on proposing agro-forest biomass derived by hazelnut cultivations for renewable energy production via small-scale applications, in order to enhance farmers’ income within Turkish individual agro-districts. Due to importance of Turkey in world hazelnut trade, it is interesting to project some enhancements which have been already carried out in Italy. A consolidated protocol using DEA analyses gave evidence to the possibility of stabilizing both domestic and world prices along with differentiating hazelnut farmer’s income. KW - DO -
