Fairness and Equity: We accept the scales of mutual justice and “not exceeding the right” as the basic principle in all exchanges within the team and in the relations we establish with our partners.

 

Community-based organization: We see all our differences as values, and we are aware of the power of being “one”. We know that this is a process that takes time and needs mutual effort. We consider all events, especially trainings, as the first steps to create a symbiotic community for Holistic Management and Regenerative Agriculture in Turkey.

 

Holo-ethics-based approach: We see the issue of ethics as a whole. We put all our decisions and strategies into practice after passing through a strong ethical filter.

 

Transparency: We want our interactions, both within and outside the team, to be built on transparency and mutual trust.

 

Imagination and Hope: Everything starts with imagining the things that seem impossible in the present moment and circumstances. We have dreams that full of utopias rising above our hopes for the "holo(s)" we direct. We don't stop dreaming.

 

Realism and Rationalism: The only way to do justice to our ideals and dreams is to take the difficult paths towards them in the most effective, strongest, most “hope instiling” way. How big and utopian our dreams are; We say that our responsibility to act according to the facts, to plan correctly and effectively, and to give credit to a critical rationality is as big as them.

 

Pluralism: Just like nature, the more pluralism prevails in all relations between people, the higher the diversity, the more fruitful and sustainable partnerships we can establish. We are aware of this, we do not forget it.

 

Freedom: As Anadolu Meraları team, our freedoms are the most important things that we dote on. We know that true freedom is only possible with a strong sense of responsibility, awareness and “surrender”.

 

Participation: We know how valuable participation can be if implemented with the right governance and within a solid framework.

 

Open Source: As Anadolu Meraları, we are an active member of the global regenerative agriculture community. We see it as a responsibility to share with the public what we have learned, what we have experienced and created, our healing contributions, and what we have recorded, as open source, to the extent possible and by staying true to equity.

 

Good job, trust and dependability: In this age where doing “good job” is the exception rather than the rule, we do not accept any option other than “doing the job as best as possible or not doing it”. We consider the trust of the public and our partners in our goodwill and their trust in dependability of our work ethic as our most valuable assets. 

 

Concrete and responsible exemplification: We do not share methods and tools that we do not personally implement within our application land or within other possibilities, and for which we have no foresight about how it can be done in practice/how it costs and results, in trainings or other environments, and/or we share the relevant data by presenting clearly.

Honesty and Open-mindedness: We take it as a principle to share what we know to be true and our ideas as they are, to use clear and open expressions in our dialogues and communications,  not to be polite individuals but good people, to share our mistakes and deficiencies honestly, to listen to every idea and approach with an open mind.
