Project Summary

Finding a way to farm together on a plain under climate pressure.

Read the full project →

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.

01

Climate resilience

Irrigation schedules that cut water use, soil-health practices and drought-tolerant variety trials.

02

Cooperative capacity

Joint purchasing, joint marketing and governance models, plus decision-support tools for co-op managers.

03

Digital agriculture

An open data platform that returns field measurements to farmers in language they can act on.
