The “Nasreddin Hoca World Humor Village Project” was carried out in Akşehir district, which possesses regional cultural heritage and values associated with the image of Nasreddin Hoca, in collaboration with the Akşehir Municipality.

A significant portion of animal slaughter in the region still takes place in small and primitive slaughterhouses, with meat and meat products often being produced under conditions that are not hygienically or technologically adequate. Small-scale operations lack cooling units, preventing carcass maturation, creating challenges in preserving internal organs, and resulting in the underutilization of by-products. Additionally, carcasses, hides, and internal organs are transported in unsuitable vehicles.

Through this project, the establishment of a soilless strawberry greenhouse aims to save labor and time, obtain higher strawberry yields per unit area, enable more efficient and planned use of productive agricultural lands, and achieve self-sufficiency in strawberry production for Meram district.

Through this project, the objectives are to utilize pivot irrigation—a novel method in agricultural irrigation systems—in research projects, to reduce irrigation costs over large areas, to decrease labor expenses, to ensure uniform irrigation, and to deliver water directly and effectively to the root zones of plants.

Through this project, the aim is to ensure the effective production, processing, and marketing of a local bean variety cultivated by farmers, processed by farmer organizations, and marketed by these same organizations.

The beneficiary of the project, S.S. Demiryurt Agricultural Development Cooperative, was established in 2005 in Demiryurt Village with 30 members. At that time, the cooperative benefited from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry’s 30x10 investment program (10 cattle for each of 30 families) and began production in a shared barn.
