To provide farmers with brochure-supported information and trainings for obtaining soil samples.
BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT
Determination of soil structure, soil reaction value (pH), lime ratios and amount of organic matter as well as the amounts of many elements, especially nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, are determined. After this analysis, the structure of the soil is revealed and the producer can make the right fertilization at the right time, as well as preventing excessive and wrong fertilizer application, thus protecting the soil and water resources and directing the producers correctly.

A shepherd’s map was prepared, which includes the number of animals and barn locations of producers engaged in pasture farming in İzmir. It is a database study initiated to maintain, develop and support pasture animal husbandry in İzmir.
BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT
The shepherd’s map includes information such as the producers engaged in pasture livestock, the number of animals they own, and the locations of the corrals. The Shepherd map is created by transferring the data collected as a result of the field studies carried out within the scope of the Mera İzmir project to the geographic information system. The data were collected by visiting all the neighborhoods in İzmir and visiting the sheepfold. A total of 30 districts, especially the districts of İzmir where animal husbandry is concentrated, such as Menemen, Aliağa, Bergama and Kınık, were visited by field teams. As a result of the visit, it was determined that there were a total of 4,658 shepherds in 30 districts of İzmir. According to the results of the shepherd’s map, there are a total of 542 thousand 794 pasture animals, approximately 142 thousand goats, 384 thousand sheep and 16 thousand black cattle grazing in the pasture in Izmir.
The Shepherd map is also used to determine the producer from which Izmir Metropolitan Municipality will buy milk. In order to purchase milk, the producer must put his animals on pasture at least 7 months of the year and must not feed them with forage crops such as silage corn that cause excessive water consumption. Thanks to the criteria, both the naturalness of the product is preserved and a step is taken in the fight against drought causes such as excessive water consumption.

BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Agricultural Forecasting and Early Warning System established in the districts is a system that produces its own energy needs with solar energy panels on it. It records the data it detects with the sensors on it on the system. Then, these data are interpreted and processed by the Agricultural Engineers appointed for this job in the Chamber of Agriculture and the Cooperative, and they are converted into sms messages as simple data. These sms messages are also sent to registered producers as meaningful and simplified messages. Producers who receive these messages can be guided correctly, and by using the right amounts at the right time, they can protect their products against the risk of frost and hail, as well as fighting against diseases and pests.
