With this project, in the province of Karaman, where livestock activities and movements are intensive, it is planned to establish a new livestock market in place of the existing and unhealthy market, within the framework of the “Regulation on Licensing and Inspection Procedures for Livestock Sales Places”, in order to ensure animal health and disease control and to develop the trade of livestock, meat, and milk.

Within the scope of the project, as part of the training and extension activities aimed at generating income, with the objectives of instilling social awareness in women who are engaged in economic activity within the family and are categorized as unpaid family workers through the trainings provided, ensuring their participation in the cooperative, and providing them with a profession to sustain their own lives, trees are processed to make walking sticks, and stonework with local motifs is applied onto the walking sticks.

Due to the majority of agricultural lands being arid and the low annual precipitation level, approximately 40% of cultivated agricultural areas are dedicated to the production of pulses such as chickpeas, lentils, and beans.

The project aims to improve shelter conditions to enhance animal welfare, prevent livestock productivity losses, produce healthy and high-quality animal products, facilitate access to water sources on pastures, prevent stress, disease, and productivity loss caused by sunlight in summer and rain in spring and autumn, and reduce overgrazing pressure on pastures through planned grazing.

Through portable sheepfold projects; the aims are to improve shelter conditions and thereby increase animal welfare, to prevent losses in livestock productivity, to produce healthy and high-quality animal products, to prevent the formation of permanent shelters in pastures, to vacate irregular structures within pastures, and to develop alternative methods that will facilitate the reclamation of pastures.

In the region, which historically had a viticulture culture, vineyards were abandoned due to diseases that emerged because the old-type rootstocks were ungrafted.
