With our digital agriculture project in Sındırgı, we increase agricultural productivity and support sustainable production by using smart technologies.
1. Purpose of the Project
This project aims to increase the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural production in Sındırgı. It is aimed to make the production processes of farmers more effective and environmentally friendly with modern agricultural techniques, smart agricultural practices and digitalisation. Within the scope of the project, successful agricultural practices in Europe are analysed and methods that can be applied in Sındırgı are determined.
2. Target Groups and Participants
The project targets farmers, young entrepreneurs and agricultural cooperatives, especially those engaged in agriculture in rural areas. Agricultural transformation will be supported by providing trainings on smart irrigation systems, digital agricultural tools and sustainable agricultural practices to farmers who produce with traditional agricultural methods. In addition, increasing the interest of young people in agriculture and encouraging them to become entrepreneurs in this field is one of the main objectives of the project.
3. Activities and Cooperation
Within the scope of the project, co-operation will be made with Sındırgı Municipality and our partner. Through this partnership, smart agriculture practices, precision agriculture techniques and sustainable production methods in our partner's region will be examined on site. Through activities such as training programmes, field visits and round table meetings, participants will learn about agricultural technologies and transfer this knowledge to farmers in Sındırgı.
4. Digital Agriculture and Use of Technology The
project attaches great importance to the dissemination of digital agricultural technologies. With the use of technologies such as sensors, drones, artificial intelligence-supported analysis systems and automation tools, it is aimed to make agricultural production more efficient. Thanks to smart irrigation systems, conservation of natural resources will be encouraged by saving water.
5. Expected Results and Sustainability
At the end of the project, it is expected that modern techniques in agricultural production in Sındırgı will be disseminated, farmers will receive training and digital agriculture practices will be adopted. In addition, local agricultural co-operatives will be strengthened and the marketing and export capacities of producers will be increased. This project aims to create a sustainable model that will contribute to the rural development processes not only in Sındırgı but also in Turkey.
