Laboratory, education, production, grant support...
A tissue culture laboratory will be established to carry out production activities within the project's scope titled ‘Anatolians - Sustainable Salep Production’. In this laboratory, it is planned to produce salep seedlings from salep orchid seeds, which grow naturally in Bartın and are endangered, to provide salep cultivation training to the target group of 19 people, and to encourage salep production by donating the seedlings produced as a result of the project to the target group for 3 years.
‘We support local development in cooperation.’
BARU Rector Prof. Dr. Orhan Uzun emphasized the importance of the cooperation protocol made in order to protect our natural resources and support local development and said, ‘We contribute to local development with our research and science production ecosystem, which we have transformed into a culture at our university and made it sustainable. Starting from where we are, we carry out projects that will support the producers of our province and add value to both our country and our region. With these thoughts, we would like to thank Dr. Lecturer Cevdet Gümüş, the project coordinator, for his efforts that are in line with the mission of our university, reaching the society and producing value.
