Soil is only sustainable if it is healthy and productive. For the soils, which we have damaged with the wrong agricultural methods applied in our country for a very long time, to feed future generations, it is no longer sufficient to physically protect the soil. We need to improve our soil by protecting the vitality in it.
At this point, it would be appropriate to emphasize the importance of VET High Schools providing education in the field of agriculture and the need to increase their number in Türkiye immediately. The education provided in these high schools is critical in increasing the amount of organic matter in the soils of our country and thus making the soil healthier.
As the LOESS Türkiye team, we continue to investigate the state of soil health awareness education in our country and interview experts in this field. Our guests this week are 2 teachers from 2 different agri-VET High Schools:
-Tayfur Ünal (Burdur Tefenni VET High School – Agriculture Field Chief)
-Ezgi Önay (Private TÜRAM VET High School – Agriculture Teacher)
We would like to thank each of them for their participation in the LOESS Türkiye CoP and for sharing their valuable knowledge and experiences with us by participating in these interviews.
