Boyali village, located in the Güdül district of Ankara province, Türkiye, has a population of 238, although over the past 5 years the village has witnessed a decline in population of around 10 percent. The village is renowned for its Angora goat breeding, known also as Mohair goats, which are considered a cultural heritage due to their historical, geographical, agricultural and commercial significance. Livestock breeding constitutes a major economic activity in Boyali, where the approximately 25 000 animals, and the favourable altitude and climate all contribute to the production of high-quality mohair. The village’s lands are predominantly small, fragmented and lacking in irrigation. Farmers cultivate barley to meet their animal feed needs, and cultivated land has increased by 30 percent over the last 5 years. 

Boyali Fengere Kadın Eli (Agricultural Development Cooperative) – a women's cooperative engaged in the production and sale of mohair fabrics, textile products and various food items, including pasta, chickpeas, bulgur, lentils and jam – is a significant stakeholder in the village. The opportunities offered by the digital rural transformation are embraced enthusiastically by the local rural community, especially women farmers. The community demonstrates a strong collective spirit, tackling challenges with a resilient and cooperative approach.
