Strengthening farmers’ involvement and empowerment in the transition towards agroecology
>> Project Proposal: "Goats for Smiling Pastures"
We are seeking partners to join or lead a consortium for our project focused on Natural Pasture Improvement and Resilient Livestock Management.
• Topic 1 Alignment: We aim to utilize Saanen x Kıl crossbreed goats, genotypes specifically adapted to our local environmental conditions, to enhance resilience and livestock performance in degraded pasture areas.
• Topic 2 Alignment: Our project centers on Farmer Empowerment through a vocational training program for 30 citizens, focusing on herd management, fodder production (Vetch, Triticale, Oat), and collective action through local cooperatives.
• Pasture Restoration: The project employs natural grazing methods to combat invasive species and restore biodiversity in the Gölyazı and Çaylı regions.
>> What We Offer
• A fully functional Living Lab environment with designated application sites (pastures and production fields).
• Proven expertise in Farmer Engagement and peer-to-peer learning structures.
• Strong links to local breeders' unions and educational centers.
• Access to socio-economic and environmental data for evidence-based research.
>> Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for Research Performing Organizations (RPOs) and other Living Labs specializing in:
• Animal genomics and phenotypic characterization of resilient breeds.
• Agroecological pasture management and soil health biodiversity.
• Social innovation and digital decision-support tools for small-scale farmers.
