Local producers and researchers in Turkey are highlighting regional agricultural and gastronomic assets through various platforms. 

In October 2026, the Muğla Metropolitan Municipality participated in GastroShow 2026 in Istanbul to promote the region’s culinary heritage and geographically indicated products. The initiative focused on connecting cooperatives and women entrepreneurs with wider markets while emphasizing “Zero Waste” and sustainable production methods.

In November 2026, at the 5th International Sustainable Ecological Agriculture Congress, researchers presented studies on the economic potential of Kastamonu’s regional products. These included Ihsangazi siyez wheat, noted for its 12,000 year history, and fragrant grapes. The presentations suggested combining ecological agriculture with agritourism to foster sustainable rural development.
