Voluntary harvest
Voluntary harvest
Izmir, Turkey
By arranging a support program volunteers via a digital platform this year’s harvest is done through the collective work of volunteers, villagers, and municipal employees in Izmir. The volunteers must be within a low-risk group to participate in the harvest. With the support of the Izmir metropolitan municipality, the volunteers will help about 46 cherry orchards in 18 villages. After the cherry harvest, the volunteers will have the opportunity to support the plum and peach harvest. As a small thank you to the weekly harvest volunteers, they will gain free travel cards for public transportation as well as food package and of course valuable information about farming methods and soil knowledge.
