Taner Aksel

I am a permaculture designer, regenerative farmer, and sustainability educator based in Türkiye. Since 2011 I have managed Belentepe Farm, a living example of agroecology, water resilience, and community learning. I teach permaculture, design ecological projects, and develop tools that empower others. I created Earth United, a global sustainability platform, and EcoDesign, an AI-powered ecological design system helping people plan gardens, farms, ecovillages, and land regeneration projects.
