The aim of this study is to reveal the agricultural and social change trends in families dealing with agricultural activities and living in Turkish, Muhajir and Arab villages of Adana province. For this purpose, intergenerational analysis was performed and the data obtained were compared between generations. The main material of the research consists of primary data obtained through individual interviews from farmers living in Turkish, Muhajir and Arab villages of Adana province. Along with the individual interview, in-depth interviews were conducted in each village related to the research subject, observations were made and secondary data made by other individuals and institutions were used. When the intergenerational differences in the research area are evaluated, it has been determined that there are significant changes in both demographic and agricultural structure from the first generation to the third generation. Regarding the agricultural structure, the increase in the average farmer age and the high tendency of the third generation to leave agriculture were determined as the most important findings of this research. Accordingly, as a result of this research, it is recommended to implement socio-economic and agricultural policies that will keep the third generation in rural areas.
