Nilufer Municipality was procuring a service for taking soil samples from hundreds of various points in Nilufer. The laboratory that could perform soil, water and plant analysis in the region was only that one and that laboratory was about to close due to financial reasons, but Municipality needed its service more. Nilufer Municipality found the solution by purchasing the laboratory (with hiring the existing employees) that was about to close and transferred the management of the laboratory to Nilüfer Agricultural Development Cooperative (NILKOOP).
In this way, soil analysis service could continue to be provided, and so it was. These services and investments provided for the protection of the soil and collaborations with cooperatives, producers and academicians are all made for a more sustainable Nilüfer.
