A unique combination of actors from civil society, the agricultural world and
solidarity finance, the Terre de Liens movement derives its originality from the
articulation between an associative network active throughout France, a
solidarity investment company and a foundation recognised as being of public
utility.

A community experience in Diyarbakir
After both Bişar İçli' and Zeki Kanay lost their posts at the municipality and
university because of their activist work, they decided to retreat to the
countryside to engage in agriculture. They use local seeds for all the produce.
With great enthusiasm Bişar İçli and Zeki Kanay greened their place. They are
surrounded by melons, watermelons, zucchinis, eggplants, tomatoes and pepper
beds with sunflowers. İçli emphasizes that it is actually a communal effort with
the help of many volunteers.
The farm is located in Diyarbakır, where a refugee camp was created after ISIS
attacked Shengal. “It was necessary to do something with the people in the
Shengal camp. We started to make a garden with them. We built 185 orchards in
two and a half years,” says İçli.
Bişar İçli said, “Everything you see here has been given to us for support or in
exchange. We didn't pay for anything. “We went to the villages and bought pink
tomato seeds and gave something else in return,” he says. Their actions oppose
both biological warfare and the food crisis. “The company brings seeds into the
country and the farmer is forced to use this seed. The farmer who buys the seed
is forced to take a few pesticides to get sufficient yield from this seed...Our
main concern is to obtain seeds and spread it. We advocate a subsistence
economy.
