Can regenerative agriculture repair the world? Can it heal the damage we have done to the ecosystem? Can we leave agricultural production solely to farmers? What can a thinking person do for this planet full of chronic problems?
Regenerative agriculture is an understanding created by producers who say that another production method is possible and those who walk side by side with them to continue production and take responsibility. As EkoDoku, we are trying to implement regenerative agriculture in silkworm breeding. EkoDoku Sustainable Life Cooperative was formed around a woman producer who organized non-agricultural lands with her family and established a mulberry garden, and adopted nonviolent silk production in order to continue the breeding of the Hataysarisi silkworm race, which is under threat of extinction. As a women's cooperative, EkoDoku produces projects for the preservation of biodiversity in silkworm breeding, which is an agroecological production method, as well as the continuation of family farming and the utilization of women's labor.
EkoDoku; In order to draw attention to the fact that non-violent silk production is possible, where the usual insect suffocation process is not used during Environment Week, and to draw attention to the possibility of different production methods, the need for a different perspective, ethical production, fair trade and questioning of consumption and to raise awareness, it invites all producers, consumers, decision makers and all segments of social life to take off their usual hats and rethink for the health of the planet and the future of life.
