Ankara municipal agriculture program

Overview

In early August 2026 Ankara’s municipal authorities expanded their local‑food agenda. The Keçiören district garden and orchard began supplying fresh produce to the municipal guest‑house, while the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality’s ATA Farm completed its first buckwheat harvest, aiming to scale the crop and develop related processing and beekeeping support.

The following day the ATA Farm delivered a substantial batch of alfalfa hay to the Atatürk Children Natural Life Park, covering one‑fifth of the park’s annual feed requirement. Officials highlighted the move as a model of linking municipal agriculture with city services and outlined plans to enlarge cultivated areas and increase harvest frequency.

Together, these steps illustrate Ankara’s effort to diversify municipal farming, create new income streams for local producers, and integrate agricultural outputs into public facilities.
