Sustainable Agriculture

• Sustainable Agriculture : 1000 Farmers Endless Prosperity provides expert agronomical and technical information  & consultancy for farmers by both on the field and remote methods access to innovative technical and digital tools (digital soil analysis, various sensors and satellite), in-class and online trainings and best practices to help farmers thrive.

Digital Agriculture Tools and Implementations

• Digital Agriculture Tools and Implementations : 1000 Farmers Endless Prosperity provides various digital agricultural tools and its trainings to farmers.
  • Digital Soil Analyses : We conducted more than 3000 “Digital Soil Analysis” for farmers. According to the results of the analyses, we provided farmers with field-specific fertilization recommendations.
  • Agricultural Sensor Station : Agricultural Sensor Station sensors are 1.5-meter long stations that measure soil temperature and moisture 30 cm below the soil, and air temperature and relative humidity from two levels of 30 cm and 85 cm above the soil. Within the scope of the Program, we established sensor stations that provide Lead Farmers with instantaneous data about their fields. Farmers monitored the temperature and humidity of the air and soil in line with the instantaneous data from the sensors, and accessed irrigation needs, disease risks, appropriate spraying times for pesticides, and seven-day weather forecast information obtained from open sources.
  • Crop Health Monitoring : 1000 FEP provided satellite application to monitor crop health in the field, farmers can view their fields from the satellite.

Financial Literacy

• Financial Literacy : We included financial literacy as part of the Program’s scope in consideration of the positive impact on farmers, who can look at their land from a long-term business perspective. We aim to raise awareness via the training and field visits conducted within the scope of the Program and consequently increase the number of farmers who use banking tools and who can meet their needs with the use of more than one financial instrument.

Digital Agricultural Market

Digital Agricultural Market :  The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry launched the Digital Agriculture Market (DITAP), which will carry the entire chain from food production to consumption into a digital environment. Thanks to the Digital Agriculture Market – an important project initiated for digitalization in agriculture – all buyers and producers will be able to engage on the online platform. DITAP, which will ensure that agricultural supply and demand meet with the “digital marketplace” approach and contracted agriculture practices, will enable producers to earn additional income and find agricultural products of the quality desired by the agricultural industry, and for consumers to access agricultural products more economically. In 2020 and 2021 we provided DITAP training to farmers.

Occupational Health and Safety in The Field

• Occupational Health and Safety in The Field : In the first year of the 1000 Farmers Endless Prosperity Program, we organized OHS training to contribute to the creation of a safe and healthy working environment in the field, to create awareness on occupational health and safety and first aid. Together with academicians and the OHS experts of the Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Services, we provided approximately one hour of OHS training to farmers. In the training provided within the scope of the Program, we provided information to raise the awareness of farmers on health and safety issues such as first aid, safety precautions during the application of pesticides, and prevention of accidents caused by the uninformed use of tractors and agricultural machinery.

Electronic Warehouse Receipt & Licensed Warehousing

• Electronic Warehouse Receipt  & Licensed Warehousing : Electronic Warehouse Receipt (EWR) and licensed warehousing systems are of great importance for ensuring crop safety and maintaining its quality. With the aim of increasing farmers’ profitability of farmers, without compromising the quality of their crops, via the appropriate timing and correct pricing method, we included Electronic Warehouse Receipt and licensed warehousing systems training within the scope of the 1000 Farmers Endless Prosperity Program. We aim to raise the awareness of farmers about licensed warehousing and EWR and generate a positive impact across all economic, environmental, and social areas, particularly regarding income generated through increased crop productivity.

Carbon Study

• Carbon Study : 1000 Farmers Endless Prosperity helps to farmers on understand their carbon footprint on the field operations and help them how to reduce it.
