Egedeniz Regenerative Practices 
No-till cotton cultivation using direct seeding into mulch to reduce soil disturbance and CO₂ emissions. Natural vegetation is retained as mulch, and a diverse cover of crop mix (pea, triticale, barley, oats) is used to build soil health and maintain year-round ground cover. Nutrients are applied through drip fertigation with certified organic inputs.

Social Impact Highlights 
In partnership with ETO and UTAEM, this initiative is developing a scalable, evidence-based model for regenerative cotton in Turkey’s Aegean Region.

Transition Programs & Farmer Support 
Provides farmers with agronomic guidance, soil and leaf testing, and economic analysis to support informed transition to regenerative practices.

Country
Turkey

Focus
Soil health improvement and carbon emission reduction through regenerative cotton cultivation in the Aegean Region, with scientific data gathering on no-till practices, cover cropping, organic input use, and their measurable impact on soil organic matter, CO₂ flux, biodiversity, and farmer profitability

Fiber/Cotton Type: 
Regenerative organic cotton — two varieties under trial: Milet-84 and Bomba. Cultivated in the Aegean Region using no-till direct seeding on mulch, drip fertigation, and cover cropping.

Finished Products
Raw fiber / bulk cotton stage. Fiber quality meets standard specifications.
