Improved decision making about rural lands requires careful consideration of how ecological information and analyses can inform specific planning and policy needs.

Ufuk hoca,
I will like to say that the key factor to successful design, implementation, monitoring, and possible review of any policy is availability of quality data. Besides, such data needs to be well analyzed in such a way that it can be meaningful and applicable for the intended purpose and targeted stakeholders.
With that preamble, the ecologists' roles need to encompass provision of evidence-based information for policy and planning. With their researches and other means of generating knowledge, they should ensure that the eventual output gets to the policy and decision makers. Avenues that could be used include publication in local newspapers/magazines, press conference, conference papers and dialogues with policy makers.
Given that there is a relationship between ecology and economy, as possibly the case of Turkey and many developing countries, ecologists can be more effective concerning informed rural land‐use planning and policy by incorporating economic components into their approaches.
Yes, cooperation should be developed between ecologists and farmers running farms not only in the formula of sustainable organic farming, but also large-scale farms where monoculture crops and livestock breeding are carried out according to the formula of intensified agricultural production. Thanks to this cooperation, it is possible to plan and implement land use policy in rural areas more effectively, taking into account the issues of nature protection, reduction of environmental pollution with fertilizers and plant protection products, protection of pollinating insects, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, protection of biodiversity of natural ecosystems located in the vicinity of farms, taking care of the condition of the biosphere and climate of planet Earth for future generations. Improving the cooperation between ecologists and farmers running farms can be carried out by using satellite analytics examining changes in the state of the biosphere and climate in specific areas where farms are located. In this way, the analysis of the influence of specific farms on the surrounding biosphere can be improved. Thanks to this cooperation, farmers can receive valuable tips and recommendations, thanks to which they can effectively implement and achieve the goals of sustainable development on their farms. Satellite analytics based on systems for identifying changes in the state of the natural environment, climate change, increased risk and threats related to potential droughts, pest attacks, diseases of agricultural crops and livestock caused by microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, etc.), mass dying bees etc. can be supported by analytics based on drone technology and the applications of ICT, internet and Industry 4.0 information technologies.
Greetings, Have a nice day, Stay healthy!
