In 2011<\/strong>, Professor Robin Brumfield<\/strong> and Burhan \u00d6zkan<\/strong> conducted a needs assessment and feasibility study to identify priority needs, interests and capacities of women farmers in Turkey<\/strong>. The team interviewed Extension educators and female farmers in three villages, using the results to develop a pilot 28-hour course to train 40 farmers from Kumluca, Turkey<\/strong>. The course was offered to small-scale citrus and greenhouse producers. Training included computer literacy, technical citrus and greenhouse production<\/strong>, and business management<\/strong>. Technical topics included greenhouse construction, ventilation, soil productivity, plant nutrition and irrigation, pesticide safety, plant protection, biological insect and disease control, sustainable production, and protection of resources.<\/p>\n

Women farmers were encouraged to pursue opportunities and start new ventures, upgrade or improve existing businesses, expand their customer base or enter new markets. The women developed a business plan for their farms and crafted a mission statement by the end of the course.The women in the pilot project renamed it\u00a0Suzan\u2019\u0131n Projesi (Suzanne’s Project)<\/strong>\u00a0in honor of Dr. Brumfield’s daughter who inspired her to take the project to Turkey.<\/p>\n

As a result of the successeful\u00a0pilot program, the municipality of Elmali funded a second pilot (2012)<\/strong>, followed by Duzce University that funded a third\u00a0Suzanne\u2019s Project<\/em>. A joint venture with the Korkuteli Vocational School; the Municipality of Korkuteli; Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey; and Akdeniz University, Turkey was soon to follow, where fourth\u00a0Suzanne\u2019s Project<\/em>\u00a0was conducted (2013) <\/strong>to train approximately twenty small-scale Turkish women farmers who grow mushrooms in Korkuteli, Turkey.Finally, thirteen Turkish women farmers participated in\u00a0Suzanne\u2019s Project<\/em>\u00a0in Boztepe, Turkey with<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
