What began as a personal quest to find medical Cannabis for her treatment evolved into a broader mission to transform our relationship with sacred plants and regenerative agriculture. This journey, combined with my passion for Nature and learning, led me to co-found EarthistDAO, Dunyaicin, Cannabis Law Reform group and pioneer the Kendir Hemp Project, initiatives that are now catalyzing ecological and social regeneration across T\u00fcrkiye.\n\n##  Regenerative R&D and Innovation\n\n### Heirloom Seed Preservation\nOur vital seed bank preserves traditional Turkish hemp varieties, protecting both biodiversity and cultural heritage. Through careful documentation of traditional cultivation methods, we maintain genetic diversity crucial for climate resilience, ensuring these ancestral varieties continue to serve future generations.\n\n### Hemp Innovation\nWe're pioneering open-source processing techniques making regenerative technologies accessible to all. Our R&D spans from developing sustainable construction materials to establishing circular economy models, creating a comprehensive approach to hemp utilization that benefits both communities and the environment.\n\n### Ecological Research\nThrough implementing regenerative farming practices, including no-till methods, mulching and natural composting, we've demonstrated successful soil restoration. Our integrated farming approach has significantly enhanced biodiversity, creating resilient agricultural systems that work in harmony with nature.\n\n### Traditional Knowledge Integration\nWe bridge ancient farming wisdom with modern regenerative practices, creating training programs that honor heritage while embracing innovation. By documenting traditional ecological knowledge, we ensure these valuable practices are preserved and adapted for contemporary challenges.\n\n![regen](https://ivory-adverse-albatross-563.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmPc5ez75jQrxhTVEA4WyeYefju44msxZ9KEg2juEjzF2k)\n\n##  Education and Community Empowerment\n\n### Nature Education Programs\nAs a licensed nature pedagogue, I co-lead immersive forest camps for children, creating deep nature connection experiences. Our ecological education curriculum guides the development of future environmental stewards through hands-on learning and discovery.\n\n### Dunyaicin Ecological Awareness Collective\nAs co-founder, we have organized three major festivals, each drawing over 250 participants, creating immersive environments that blend art with nature education. These events facilitate intergenerational knowledge sharing and build vital connections between urban communities and nature through waste reduction workshops and practical sustainability initiatives.\n\n### Cannabis Education & Policy\nAs a Board Advisor at KEYAR (Cannabis Law Reform Association), I support initiatives improving access to information on medical Cannabis treatments and lead educational programs about plant medicine. Our work connects medical professionals, patients, and policymakers to advance research and access to treatment.\n![regm](https://ivory-adverse-albatross-563.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmcNdG26uFp7NEaAvjVXbRsaDt8FHH5kDAYeGLfbZwnMm1)\n\n\n## Earthist DAO & Validator Role\nThrough active participation in Regen Network governance, we contribute to ecological frameworks and support environmental solutions, helping shape the future of regenerative finance.\n\nFor ecological governance, we're implementing DA0DA0 tooling, enabling transparent and participatory decision-making in our community initiatives.\n\n![dao](https://ivory-adverse-albatross-563.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmPKWFAYKyrkCRWY5TEWoqeExkcSZzDanUbX8zKjhD796s)\n\n##  Impact Summary\n### Environmental Impact\n\nOur hemp farming has restored soil health while creating wildlife habitats. Working with GVK Society from Regen Network, we've expanded into regenerative cotton production in T\u00fcrkiye, creating new employment opportunities and demonstrating how partnerships can scale sustainable practices across different crops.\n\n### Social Impact\nWe've engaged over thousands of participants through our festivals, creating platforms for intergenerational learning and knowledge preservation. Our work builds communities around ecological awareness, bridging traditional wisdom with modern sustainability practices.  Our partnership with Green Silk Road extends this impact, spreading seeds of knowledge across T\u00fcrkiye and fostering cross-cultural collaboration within the world.\n\n### Economic Impact\n\nBy developing regenerative market opportunities and establishing processing facilities, we've created fair pricing systems for farmers and generated resilient local economies. Our approach ensures economic benefits are distributed throughout the community. Working with tokenomics experts from initiatives like Inverter Network we're planning a circular economy models for hemp in our bioregion, creating new pathways for regenerative economic development.\n\n![re](https://ivory-adverse-albatross-563.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmNyzkD9ihJXEyYFoUV1NPgAwLEfwgYC857dQJtxdGepJa)\n\n## Vision Forward\n\nOur approach combines traditional ecological knowledge with decentralized coordination. Through EarthistDAO and our initiatives, we demonstrate how community-led projects can restore ecosystems, revitalize communities, and create sustainable opportunities.\n\nWe're growing hope, resilience, and a new Earth relationship. From seeds to education, from relief to regeneration, we're building lasting change.\n\nThank you for considering OUR work through the Regen Coordination round. \ud83c\udf31\n\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "soht0"}, "recipient": "0x7CD2073a2C8408e4Af96873a0e3822B442b58039"}}
