We believe that organic farming is not just a method of production, but also a responsibility towards nature, people, and the future. Our goal is to increase the number of producers, processors, marketers, and exporters who have access to accurate information, understand the regulations, and operate according to world-class organic production standards.
In organic farming, we aim to explain the Turkish Organic Farming Law and Regulation, the European Union Regulation on Organic Production and Labelling, and the United States National Organic Program (NOP) standards in a way that everyone can easily understand. In doing so, we hope to contribute to the growth of reliable and certified organic products in both local and international markets.
Our main goal is to provide you with the most accurate, up-to-date, and reliable information. For this reason, we find it appropriate not to venture into areas where our knowledge and experience are not sufficient. Therefore, we have limited our scope to crop production, product processing and marketing, wild collection, and beekeeping. Of course, if we can receive direct support or at least some confirmation, we may also include other topics such as livestock (apart from beekeeping), organic textiles, and organic cosmetics on our website. At this point, we would also like to emphasize that we would be truly delighted to welcome all our friends who are experts in their fields—especially in areas where we fall short—as guest writers on organikizbiz.org.tr.
Our vision is to create an ecosystem where everyone — from producers to students, from exporters to academics — who is devoted to organic farming, acts with accurate and up-to-date information. Providing advice on production or processing is not our role; we are here to broaden horizons through knowledge and regulations.
We strive to transform organic farming from being a niche sector into a concept that is understood, embraced, and applied by broad segments of society. This is the future we envision.
