In many of my articles, I have covered the subject of π§ππππ£ππ§ππ©ππ agriculture. It is the fact that we have 60 years or less of time to harvest, underlined by experts.
Unfortunately, the products we produce are less nutritious than 50 years ago, and we are destroying our soils too much to feed the world.
We need to find ways to capture, reduce and offset carbon in the soil, currently up to 15% of greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural activity. We must establish a large- scale agricultural implementation plan that enters our atmosphere and returns it to the soil, laying the foundation for a healthier food system.
The wind causes erosion of the soil over time in the fields that do not have wind protectors and are not exposed to the wind, in addition, the unconscious plowing of the soil and the lack of appropriate equipment cause the deterioration and fragmentation of the flora useful for the soil, the chemicals used also weaken the stability of the soil microbiology, which is an integral part of the health of the soil. Therefore, the alternation is very important and it is very important in order to eliminate this stress that the soil is exposed to and to protect the soil flora.
The biggest change in basic land assets in Turkey has been experienced in meadow-pasture areas and this change has always occurred against these areas. There has been a 61.5 % decrease in natural meadow and pasture areas in the last 70 years.

At this point, an innovative work caught my attention and I wanted to share it with you. A very successful study on the need to bring large-scale solutions to regenerative agriculture by integrating poultry farming with mechanization. The system is a 668 square meter solar powered, groundless mobile structure that carries 6,000 chickens to the pasture by installing mobile poultry systems in the pastures and meadows that are planned to be rehabilitated. The daily moving system combines modern feed, water, silo technology, curtains and autonomous movement.

The most striking aspect of the system is that, in a short period of 3 years, on an area of approximately 100 decares; When the soil organic matter content is below 1 %, it reaches 4% .

- Chickens have access to fresh organic matter on the ground. (Up to 40% reduction in feed consumption)
- Increase in animal health and egg production.
- Positive contribution to soil microbiota and amount of organic matter
- Contribution to healthier soil and grass production
In our country, this system can be developed further and become a source of bread for our small farmers living in the countryside, or it can be a good agricultural movement for the improvement of our meadows and pastures waiting to be improved in our regions.
Love and respect.
