Workshop in Giresun for Farmers and Practitioners on Agricultural Chemicals and Opportunities of Nature-Friendly Agriculture
Workshop in Giresun for Farmers and Practitioners on Agricultural Chemicals and Opportunities of Nature-Friendly Agriculture
The project aims to organise a workshop for the farmers and practioners on agricultural chemicals and the opportunities and threats of nature friendly agriculture. One of the main agricultural products of Giresun is hazelnuts, and in the last few decades, hazelnut production has became dependent on excessive use of pesticides, herbicides and chemicals. Nature, particularly land and water resources as well as humans living in the area had taken their toll from this. This affect is more profound as Giresun is at the Black Sea coast, a sea that is already suffering from massive eutrophication. The workshop will be a fora where the farmers who are actually doing the agriculture to talk with experts, who will take the listening part for a change, to decide how they can improve their lives and protect nature at the same time.
