Yenişehir, Bursa
Knowledge grown in the field, shared through the co-op.
AgriCoLab is a collaboration lab that brings farmers, cooperatives, the municipality and the university into the same field.
Project Summary
The Yenişehir Plain is one of Bursa's most productive farming areas — and one of the first to feel drought, irregular rainfall and rising input costs.
AgriCoLab starts from the idea that cooperatives, not individual farmers alone, can answer that pressure. The project tests climate-resilient practices through field trials, turns the results into an open knowledge pool co-op members can use, and spreads it through training.
Irrigation schedules that cut water use, soil-health practices and drought-tolerant variety trials.
Joint purchasing, joint marketing and governance models, plus decision-support tools for co-op managers.
An open data platform that returns field measurements to farmers in language they can act on.
