Nature’s Support Products Research Inc.(1) was founded in 2009 as an R&D project by a group of like-minded friends (professors, engineers, political leaders) backed by the Pharmaceutical Cooperative Association of Turkey.
At our R&D base in Middlle East Technical University's (METU / ODTU) Teknokent center, Tabia evaluates seeds and plants from all over Turkey, in search of more effective and healthier means of extracting essential oils from the country’s rich, unspoiled farming resources.
Tabia’s ongoing R&D remains at METU’s Teknokent center in Ankara, the nation’s Capital. Our production facilities are located at Söke in the rich Aydin agricultural region south of Izmir.
In many areas of the world the food chain is being destroyed — literally at its roots. Over-dependence on fertilizers and pesticides are depleting the living soil in which plants grow. Resultant increase in crop yields are offset by huge declines in the nutritional value of the fruits and vegetables grown and consumed.
Worse, these farming practices are unsustainable — the soil is dying; dustbowls may well result. The Tabia project aims at countering these unsustainable farming and land management methods by supporting the traditional, natural farming practices still prevalent in Turkey.
By working directly with the Turkish farmers; by creating value-added agricultural opportunities; by a philosophy of zero waste, thus creating greater returns to Turkish agriculture, which is mostly a decentralized collection of small, family-owned farms ... thanks to which Turkey has largely avoided the onslaught of unsustainable, chemically-driven, corporate farming practices. Tabia contracts directly with small farmers for its functional food products like Black Seed, Sesame Seed, Linseed (Flaxseed) and Pumpkin Seed.
