"EK BİÇ YE İÇ is a social enterprise aiming to make life in Istanbul--and any other mega city--a little more healthful, enjoyable, and sustainable. In EK BİÇ [saw & mow], we build indoor and outdoor urban farms around the city using permaculture principles. In YE İÇ [eat & drink], we operate restaurants and a catering business serving farm-to-table food that's affordable, and highly customizable to individuals' needs and wishes. And in PAYLAŞ [share], we host exhibitions, events, and hands-on workshops to open up discussions on issues we care about, and to pass on the learnings from our experiences. Our goal (and hope) is to build a community that will imagine a less-consuming and more fulfilling life in the city, and will make it happen."
