The program titled “Kırşehir Agricultural Practices” planned within the scope of Science Café Events organized by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) was held. On June 27, 2025, Kırşehir citizens showed great interest in the event held by the Science Communication Office of the Corporate Communication Coordinatorship of our University at Kırşehir Neşet Ertaş Culture and Art Center Emek Café. Science Communication functions as a bridge that aims to ensure that the knowledge and academic accumulation produced at universities do not remain only within the borders of the campus, but reach the streets, villages, coffee houses and tables of the city. Science Communication Offices, on the other hand, are offices established by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) and bring the knowledge in universities together with the society. Within the scope of this purpose, Kırşehir Ahi Evran University organized the Science Café Event, which is planned to be held in 81 provinces by YÖK, with the title “Agricultural Practices in Kırşehir”.



Within the scope of the event, Dean of our Faculty, Prof. Dr. Selahattin Çınar talked about the place of agriculture in our country and also gave information about agricultural practices in our province. Explaining the history of agriculture, our Dean stated that agriculture has existed throughout the history of humanity and emphasized that agriculture is very important for humanity. Noting that agriculture should not be perceived only as nutrition, our Dean continued his speech as follows: "Agriculture is involved in many different fields and service sectors besides nutrition. Especially in the clothing sector and alternative medicine, agricultural production is frequently utilized." Our Dean, who also included the agricultural practices of Kırşehir in his speech, stated that Kırşehir Ahi Evran University produces various projects since it is a specialized university in agriculture and geothermal fields.
