For the first time in T\u00fcrkiye, the curriculum includes a dedicated module on regenerative agriculture, giving farmers clear guidance on restoring soil fertility, supporting biodiversity, and strengthening the long-term resilience of their fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside agricultural science, the curriculum also features modules on field management and digital literacy. These modules help farmers and field staff improve record-keeping skills, understand farm economics, plan inputs and crop rotations more effectively, and monitor performance and make evidence-based decisions using digital tools\u2014from basic smartphone applications to advanced field data platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cT\u00fcrkiye\u2019s cotton farmers are ready to take the next step, and the OCTC provides practical guidance to support them in this process,\u201d said OCA T\u00fcrkiye Country Manager \u00d6m\u00fcr Suner. \u201cBy adapting the curriculum to our country\u2019s agricultural conditions and working closely with local partners, we ensure that every field officer and farmer receives high-quality, purpose-driven support. This resource is a milestone for strengthening T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s leadership in organic cotton production,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The curriculum was trialled with field teams during hands-on workshops held in T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s cotton-growing regions last season. OCTC builds on OCA\u2019s proven training model first launched in India (2022) and Pakistan (2023). In both countries, OCA conducted 25 agricultural training sessions, enhancing the capacity of nearly 200 field staff and demonstrating the value of a shared, high-quality training framework for farmers engaged in organic production or transitioning to organic practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-timely-resource\">A timely resource<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The launch follows OCA\u2019s official entry into T\u00fcrkiye in 2024, marked by the opening of a dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.textilegence.com\/en\/organic-cotton-accelerator-launches-in-turkiye\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">local office<\/a> to bring together stakeholders across the organic cotton value chain. Within OCA\u2019s broader capacity-building efforts in T\u00fcrkiye, the curriculum supports a long-term vision for a sustainable and transparent organic cotton sector\u2014one that rewards farmers and preserves the ecosystems that provide livelihoods for both farmers and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-developed-with-turkiye-for-turkiye\">Developed with T\u00fcrkiye, for T\u00fcrkiye<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Organic Cotton Training Curriculum was developed in collaboration with Ankara-based Prospera Impact and in consultation with Turkish industry partners such as the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To maximise accessibility, OCA has released the T\u00fcrkiye-adapted curriculum in both Turkish and English. A Trainer\u2019s Handbook has also been prepared, sharing best practices to ensure effective knowledge transfer. This approach supports adoption of the curriculum across all stakeholders in the organic cotton sector. The curriculum will be regularly updated based on field feedback and expert input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OCA invites organisations working in cotton and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.textilegence.com\/en\/category\/green-times\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sustainable<\/a> agriculture to integrate the curriculum into their farmer training programmes. The aim is to provide practical knowledge that helps farmers restore soil, increase productivity, and create sustainable livelihoods for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA) has taken a significant step in T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s organic cotton sector by introducing the Organic Cotton Training Curriculum (OCTC), a practical and easy-to-use educational resource specifically designed for Turkish farmers and field teams.
