Within the greenhouse established on agricultural land belonging to the Directorate of Soil, Water and Combating Desertification Research Institute in Karapınar district of Konya province, the project aims to conduct research on medicinal aromatic plants and pasture plants, and to produce their seedlings.

Due to the majority of agricultural lands in the region being arid and the low annual precipitation levels, the majority of cultivated agricultural areas consist of cereal farming. Grain production holds particular importance in Konya, as the province hosts numerous industrial investments based on grain processing.

Carried out within the Faculty of Agriculture at Selçuk University, this project represents the country's first domestic purple carrot seed breeding initiative. It aims to substitute and nationalize imported seeds, resulting in the development of the first national hybrid purple carrot seed through breeding studies.

Due to the lack of practical training areas and equipment in schools, and the fact that graduating students enter the job market with only theoretical knowledge, students are unable to receive adequate and qualified agricultural education. Through this project, the aim is to expose students to diverse production infrastructure, cultivate generations with the potential to contribute to the country's social and economic development as Agricultural Vocational High Schools, and transform our youth into individuals beneficial to our nation and country.

Through Training and Extension Activities aimed at field crop breeding and ensuring the efficient and sustainable use of soil and water resources in crop production, the first fully controlled breeding greenhouse in Konya province has been established at Selçuk University to strengthen educational infrastructure. The greenhouse is designed to create suitable conditions unaffected by seasonal variations, enabling multiple breeding cycles within a single year to shorten the breeding process. Additionally, the project aims to increase university students' interest in plant breeding and demonstrate modern breeding practices, agricultural techniques, and technologies.

Through the greenhouse projects, the aims are to achieve high yield per unit area, to conduct value-added production on small and fragmented lands, to enable production in the early and late seasons, to reduce the carbon footprint, and to promote the widespread adoption of the concept of local production and local consumption.
