Buğday Association for Supporting Ecological Living is a non-profit, non-governmental organization registered under the Turkish law. The pioneering Buğday (Wheat) ecological movement started in the 1990s with a restaurant/wholesale store offering local and organic food, which also served as a space for like-minded, environmentally conscious people to meet, gather and share their ideas and visions about ecological living. Buğday movement evolved into an association which was officially founded in 2002, under the name of Buğday Association for Supporting Ecological Living.

Today, Buğday Association has more than 3500 members and 4000 volunteers throughout Turkey.
