Dear Supporter,
Beyond organic and non-toxic, we focus on high nutritional value. In order to grow food with high nutritional value, we continue to try to adapt with the mechanisms of nature, to learn from experiences, and to carry what we have learned to our new application areas.
We evaluate each of our application areas separately, according to soil structure, climate and other environmental conditions. Whatever we do, we make it a principle to be restorative in our relationships and processes. Instead of being an intermediary in greenhouse gas emissions, we strive to create an environment for organic matter to return to the soil and become rich and productive without plowing it. At this time, our rains have started, thank God. With the awareness that we are working in a region with heavy rain, we try to prevent the minerals in the soil from flowing away with rain by increasing the amount of organic matter by planting perennial species frequently in order to protect the soil. Rain can do more harm than good to bare soil. Soils with low organic matter and tired of conventional agriculture cannot accommodate the rain and provide an environment for it to turn into benefits, forming a slippery layer on it. The water that accumulates and turns into a flood in this way adds all the substances necessary for life on the surface and drags it into the lakes and seas. The poison that mixes with the water from conventional agricultural areas poses a great threat to all our water resources.
In healthy soil, the necessary nutrients for plants are readily available. Thanks to these substances, plants form their cell walls, stand upright, perform photosynthesis, store food, protect themselves against pests and develop a symbiotic relationship with soil creatures. People also benefit only when they include such plants in their diets. The wish of Hippocrates, who said that your food be yours, can only find its place in this way. Activities that nourish the soil in this way enable the production of high medicinal quality medicines and foods with high nutritional value. As we feed the life in the soil, only in this way can the life in the soil continue to feed us. Especially in the last 50 years, approaches that prioritize taking from the soil prove the impossibility of taking without giving us.
