"<< Background >>Agricultural practices such as excessive use of fertilizers and chemicals have been causing soil degradation, salinity, health effects, reduction in soil biodiversity, atmospheric and water pollution, and climate change. Farmers generally use inorganic fertilizers due to their availability and scarcity of ready to use organic conditioners. Therefore composter project targets zero waste by evaluating organic farm and agricultural wastes, re-use of materials and promote circular economy. Compost production will help to develop sustainable agricultural systems with efficient use of resources. Using organic compost for plant production will be resulted in decrease chemical inputs to soil. Additionally it will increase soil carbon, promotes soil health and reduces climate change through carbon sequestrations in soils.<< Objectives >>The ultimate goal of the project is to contribute to the improvement of soil health as well as organic production through teaching composting process. The project aims to establish long-term cooperation and partnership relations among Turkey, Lithuania and Spain in composting sector, to develop the best practices on compost production conformant to EU quality and standards and setting up healthy information exchange, to design training programmes on sustainable compost production methods and putting these methods into practice, to train farmers and organise pilot exercises, and to implement some innovative composting methods.<< Implementation >>Composter project has different target groups, such as organic waste producers, local farmers and farmers’ associations, private consumers, environmental groups and organizations, Agricultural Faculty and Vocational School students, policy makers (local authorities and municipalities) and environmental NGO’s. Through the project activities, participating organizations and target groups will develop new skills, share traditional and innovative approaches and technologies in terms of compost production, and transfer these acquisitions to future generations. The target groups and stakeholders can transfer information in all participating countries, in line with the priority areas of the Erasmus + project call. The COMPOSTER team will act as a catalyst in this regard, leading the transfer of technical knowledge. The project aims to solve chronic problems experienced by farmers, from compost production to marketing, by developing the newest methods (training modules and strategies). With the in-class and e-learning trainings, compost farmers will be able to participate in the market or increase their competitiveness in the market. Scientists specializing in compost production will have the opportunity to establish a pool of experts. The COMPOSTER project will encourage the commercial growth of small-scale producers by facilitating the development of advanced production processes, ensuring production innovation and improving the marketing skills of manufacturers. Finally, considering that farmers and small-scale producers are the locomotives of the rural economy, the economic development of these producers means an increase in the general welfare of the society. Rural to urban immigration will decrease and unemployment will decrease by creating profits and constantly growing businesses. In the long term, it is expected that the capacity of the producers will be increased, the qualified workforce in composting will be increased, the producers will be able to integrate with commercial and international markets, access support loans, establish new national and international collaborations and increase stability.<< Results >>The project aims to develop four main intellectual outputs as follows;-The output 1 titled as ""Composting Methods Manual""-Output 2 titled as "" Marketing Tactics in Organic Compost Production""-Output 3 is ""COMPOSTER Documentary Film"" .For dissemination of project outputs, a virtual workshop titled “Workshop on New Innovative Technologies for Compost Production, Turkey” will be organized. Small-scale compost producers and young farmers, entrepreneurs and other beneficiaries who are starting to use compost in their agricultural practices will improve their position in the sector and have a more efficient market share. In addition to the trainings given in the classroom environment, the trainees who will participate in the practices to be carried out in compost collection and production facilities will also provide added value in the provision of qualified workforce."

Social capital is “capital” that increases the social, political and economic effectiveness of society. Its main elements are consisted of interpersonal trust, social networks, norms, institutions and participation. The components, types and use of social capital by individuals in rural areas are of great importance for rural development policies. Social capital plays an important role in the regional and rural development strategies of the European Union (EU). Similarly, in recent years in Turkey, social capital has also become a very important concept in rural development policies. Strengthening of social capital is essential for developing rural areas, increasing entrepreneurship and its sustainability, strengthening rural governance and local capacity and developing rural cooperation as Turkey has series problems in each of these areas. The number of (both economic and social) entrepreneurs is inadequate, especially in rural areas in Turkey. Social capital enables entrepreneurship and facilitate entrepreneurs overcome resource restrictions. In today's world, financial capital alone is not sufficient for entrepreneurial success. Social capital is an important resource in ensuring the effective use of social networks.There are a number of problems with agricultural organisation in Turkey due to the lack of good management of rural/agricultural organisations and human resources. The development of social capital in rural areas will contribute to the elimination of these problems related to rural organisation.This need is felt not only for traditional agriculture / rural production-related activities, but also in the governance of short supply chains and rural tourism marketing, which leads to significant changes in the dynamics of the rural areas (Giray, et al. 2019). The number of failed enterprises in this field is increasing. This is because people do not have the skills to work together within these newly created structures. For this reason, the strengthening of social capital in the rural communities is urgently needed.The project is designed to prepare a set of training modules on the subject of Social Capital in Rural Communities for Rural Development for trainers in Ministry of National Education (MoNE). The training set will include e-learning modules for trainers in Public Training Centers of MoNE, short video shows for rural residents (rural learners). Implementation Guide for the Country and Situaiton and Good Practice Examples of Social Capital across Europe. The target groups of the training modules will be adult trainers working in Public Training Centers and experts of MoAF. Rural residents especially local leaders in rural areas are also the the most important target group and beneficiaries of the project in terms of intellectual outputs.The main content of the training and intellectual outputs will be; 1.Definition of the concept of social capital 2.Components of social capital 3.Resources of Social capital4.Types of social capital5.Role of social capital in local and rural development6.Needs for social capital7.How to develop social capital8.Measuring social capitalWithin the scope of the Project, the experience of Public Training Centers of MoNE in adult education and experiences of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MoAF) in agricutural extension for those living in rural areas will be brought together within the scope of SOCIALcapital.The main objective of this Project is to provide an extensive training program for the adult trainers from MoNE who will train the rural residents on the subject of “Social Capital in Rural Communities for Rural Development”. Within the Project, the trainers from MoAF will also be trained on the same subject in order to support the target groups/project beneficiaries when they use E-Learning Training Modules.These objectives will be reached by providing adult trainers from MoNE with e-learning training materials and a short training course at a partner that will strengthen their knowledge and competences on the subject of social capital. In addition 12 trainers and 4 experts from MoAF will attend short training courses in a partner country.The project consortium is consisted of six partners; three Universities, a Research Institute and two Ministries. All partners are listed below:•Agricultural Training Center Of Ministry Of Agriculture And Forestry, Turkey•General Directorate of Lifelong Learning of the Ministry Of National Education ,Turkey•Evora University, Portugal•Isparta University of Applied Sciences, Turkey•Technical University of Madrid, Spain•Federal Institute of Agricultural Economics, Rural and Mountain Research, Austria
