Leyla Ünlübay
Member of the Board
Project Coordinator of Şişli 100% Ecological Farmers’ Market
Having worked at the 100% Ecological Farmers’ Markets ever since they were founded, Leyla knows all the organic producers by heart. Even after all these years, she still has the best interest of the producers at heart: On a good day at the market when the produce is sold out, she is happy with the farmers, and on a bad day you can tell that her heart sinks.

Batur Şehirlioğlu
Member of the Board
Coordinator of 100% Ecological Farmers’ Markets
Coordination of several 100% Ecological Farmers’ Markets is not an easy task – in order to sustain the public’s trust in the ecological markets, there is not much room for mistakes. This is where Batur’s engineering background comes in handy; with an analytical thought process, Batur gets the job done.

Güneşin Oya Aydemir
Member of the Coordination Comittee
A biologist, a woman of the moon… Güneşinfollows the changes in nature and movements of the moon closer than any of us. When we get lost in the rush of our daily lives, Güneşin is the wake up call to remind us why we are working for Buğday in
the first place. Güneşin lives in Adatepe, the village where Çamtepe, Buğday’s rural center is located.

Dilber Nalçacı

Lalehan Uysal
Director of Corporate Identity
You think that design is good? Wait until you ask Lalehan. She has an eye that sees things, tiny little faults or simple improvements that normal people can’t see. That is why we always knock on her door everytime we need advice about our fliers, billboards, magazines, guides… Luckily, her door is always open.
