Context
This project is based in Adana, Turkey, one of the country's most agriculturally productive regions, where vast fields are heavily impacted by the overuse of pesticides. The excessive application of agrochemicals has led to a significant decline in soil fertility, threatening both agricultural productivity and environmental health. By utilizing the natural remediation capabilities of mycelium to degrade pollutants and toxins, the project aims to remediate contaminated soils. Working closely with local farmers, scientists, and other local stakeholders, The Remediation Network seeks to develop a comprehensive rehabilitation action plan that can be scaled from individual fields to a broader landscape, improving both the ecological health of the land and the well-being of the community.
