Bioeconomy and Circular Economy Leading Partner in Turkey
SAYIBA is a Türkiye-based, research-oriented civil society organisation working at the intersection of green transformation, climate adaptation, circular bioeconomy and community resilience. The association connects academic expertise with field-level civic action, enabling partner consortia to translate technical climate and bioeconomy agendas into local engagement, training, stakeholder mobilisation and applied project outputs. We are currently in the FUSION project in the PRIMA.

DESCRIPTION

SAYİBA is interested in joining PRIMA 2026 consortia as a field implementation, Living Lab, stakeholder engagement and impact partner in Türkiye and the Eastern Mediterranean. For Topic 2.1.1-2026, we propose contributing to the assessment and field validation of ecosystem-based water allocation approaches in Mediterranean agricultural areas. Our potential contribution includes stakeholder mapping and mobilisation, engagement with farmers, producer organisations, SMEs, municipalities, water-related institutions and research organisations, organisation of co-creation activities, identification of local water-use challenges, field-level validation of proposed solutions, capacity building, and support for policy uptake and replication. For Topic 2.3.1-2026, we are particularly interested in establishing a Mediterranean agri-food traceability Living Lab linking farms, cooperatives, SMEs, wholesale markets and downstream actors. The pilot could test context-aware and low-cost digital traceability solutions based on batch identity, product origin, maturity and quality status, handling conditions, market routing, food-loss events, water-use information and circularity indicators. QR-based/mobile tools and interoperable data approaches could be validated under real operational conditions. SAYİBA can support Turkish pilot implementation, stakeholder recruitment, Living Lab activities, demonstration, training, dissemination, exploitation, replication and impact assessment, while connecting project partners with relevant agri-food, bioeconomy and circular-economy actors across Türkiye.
