Our mission is to empower communities and build resilient ecosystems supported by data and accessible investment pathways.\nWe leverage DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) tools for decision-making in our ecological projects and help communities establish regenerative businesses, ecosystem health and local wellbeing. \nWe are working to incorporate innovative technologies like Ecocredit Modules, Hypercerts, and Impact Miner to provide the tools needed for creating regenerative economic models for a global shift toward regeneration.\n\n#### Our Key Projects\n\n**\"For the Earth\"**\nA comprehensive ecological education program fostering environmental awareness and action across communities. Through immersive learning experiences, we cultivate deep ecological literacy and connection.\n\n**\"Kendir Hemp\"**\nIn collaboration with Kendir Agricultural Research, this flagship project supports seed sovereignty by preserving heirloom hemp seeds. We're establishing a regenerative farm with hemp cultivation and a processing center to strengthen the hemp supply chain for small and family-run farms.\n\n**\"Regenerative Cotton Project\"**\nIn partnership with Hasat Cooperative and Raddis Cotton, we're transforming conventional cotton cultivation into regenerative systems. Through integrated practices including cover cropping, minimal tillage, and biological inputs, we rebuild soil health in fields traditionally depleted by conventional methods. Our participatory research with cotton farmers develops locally-adapted protocols that improve both yields and ecosystem function.\n\n**\"Rebioca\"**\nRebioca converts organic waste into regenerative resources through advanced composting and bioconversion techniques. This initiative creates significant value from previously discarded materials, establishing circular resource flows that mimic natural systems.\n\n**\"Istanbul Hub\"**\nThe Istanbul Hub connects farmers, researchers, and community members in developing regenerative strategies for urban and rural environments. This physical space serves as a living laboratory for ecological innovation, facilitating knowledge exchange between diverse stakeholders.\n\n**\"Orman İyeleri (Forest Schools)\"**\nOur Orman İyeleri program provides immersive ecological education that integrates indigenous wisdom with modern science. These forest schools cultivate a new generation of ecological practitioners who understand natural systems through direct experience.\n\n**\"Urban Gardening Programs\"**\nOur Urban Gardening Programs transform city spaces into productive food landscapes through community gardens, rooftop cultivation, and balcony growing systems. These initiatives reconnect urban residents with food production while creating habitat for pollinators and wildlife.\n\n**\"Web3 Education Programs\"**\nOur Web3 Education Programs develop digital tools for ecological tracking and transparent environmental restoration. These initiatives bridge technology and regenerative practices, creating accessible pathways for broader participation in ecosystem healing.\n\n---\n\n##### Recent progress and continued efforts in the past years(ongoing to previous);\n\n✅ Live on [$REGEN Validator](https://www.mintscan.io/regen/validators/regenvaloper1wexza7kxc8qktxqcwrt65anwuxjw8pg0akx36t) to support and secure the [Regen Network](https://www.regen.network) for decentralization, aiming to enhance global ecological decision-making.
