Happy Village Project and Sustainability

The Happy Village Project is a comprehensive sustainability project. In addition to facilitating the transition to organic farming for over 4000 registered farmers, the project focuses on preserving the natural life balance in fields and gardens, while also placing great importance on educating both farmers and their seasonal workers. The project's fundamental elements include training seasonal workers during harvest periods, ensuring fair and good working conditions, meeting their needs, and contributing to rural development.

For Our Workers

Our organic farmers registered in the Happy Village Project need intensive seasonal workers, especially during harvest periods, to collect their products. Işık Tarım provides orientation, occupational health and safety, hygiene, and sanitation training to workers who come to collect products in fields and gardens for 1-2 months, to create workers who own the product, are conscious and educated. In addition to training, we have numerous projects certified under Fair for Life, Certified Fair Trade, and Rainforest Alliance to ensure that seasonal workers live and work under fair and good conditions.

Water Management

According to Işık's sustainability approach:

  • Starting water management from the field; we primarily select suitable varieties that require less water for the products we produce.
  • For the remaining irrigation needs, methods such as Mini Sprink or drip irrigation are applied to prevent excessive water consumption.
  • In our factories, there is an integration of pressure washing systems to reduce the amount of water used for washing and cleaning purposes.

Renewable Energy

We are determined to reduce our impact on the environment for today and future generations. In addition to taking steps to reduce our own carbon footprint, we supply clean and renewable energy to power most of our facilities. This helps us use energy more efficiently and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.

Thanks to the solar panels we installed on the roofs of our dried fruit and frozen fruit factories, we saved 7,464 trees in 2022.
