Tabit Smart Village is the first smart village in the world that includes advanced agricultural technologies and IoT applications for family farmers living in rural areas and brings technology to the farmer. The aim of the project is to increase the efficiency of production and raise the social living standards of the farmers by using smart agricultural technologies. In this way, it is aimed to accelerate the digital adaptation process of farmers and increase their welfare level. Tabit reaches 1.5 million farmers in Turkey and 7.5 million farmers worldwide with Vodafone partnership. Thanks to the change process recorded with scientific methods in the Smart Village, soil measurements are made with smart systems and fields can be tracked through sensors. In addition, irrigation and automation systems, measurements and all data can be controlled from farmers' smart devices. The MENA region, which has a population of 1.6 billion and 114 million farmers, was chosen as the target market. It was considered as a predictable market, especially considering its proximity to Turkey and the cooperation projects.

The smart village project aims to improve agricultural practices by using modern and innovative technologies and to encourage farmers' access to these technologies. It demonstrates a variety of smart farming practices on a 300-acre land, allowing farmers to see the benefits of these methods. These applications include technologies such as Smart irrigation, smart milking, phytosanitary monitoring and data analysis. The project developed scaling strategies by establishing local and international collaborations to expand the business model in 9 countries. In this way, the adoption of smart agriculture technologies is encouraged by providing on-site training and support to farmers. The R&D studies carried out in this model campus contribute to producing knowledge at the academic level and conducting scientific studies. The project allows for continuous improvement and integration of new technologies. Project outputs were measured in terms of production efficiency, optimization of resource use and increasing farmers' incomes.

"It was very difficult for the small family farmers living in villages, with a low level of education, to reach information and technology, which is about 570 million in the world. However, in the developing world, the competitive conditions in production and the effect of global warming, the farmers, who could not produce their products with the old methods, migrated to the big cities and had difficulty living in unqualified places. On the one hand, production was falling. By bringing them together with knowledge and technology, we tried to overcome them by developing the information they need and systems that they can use on their own. The information, technology and software we produce are free or affordable at a level that can be used without training. We produce information and technology at an accessible price that can be used by at least literate small family farmers, increasing productivity, reducing input costs and labor, and we provide free training to disseminate them. All this so that farmers can continue production where they live, so that they do not have to migrate and production does not decrease. To enable the small family farmer to manage water correctly by using technology, to produce efficiently by using less water, to get preliminary information about diseases by using sensors and to take precautions without spraying, to systematize waste management in agriculture. To disseminate this at a level that anyone who can read and write can do and at affordable prices. Efforts are being made and offered to the market to ensure that the technologies used by large production companies are accessible to every farmer with ease and price."
