No results found.The project revealed high relevance of Türkiye’s national environmental goals and priorities. The interventions and connected CO2 savings positively illustrated new approaches for sustainable land and natural resources management, representing a huge potential for catalysing a new era of climate-friendly agriculture. The project has demonstrated that biodiversity mainstreaming into forest and rangeland management and restoration practices can be considered as a model to be used throughout the country in terms of biodiversity management planning. Turning theoretical knowledge of “how agriculture should be done” to hands-on practice in the fields through the Farmer Field Schools (FFS) represented pioneering developments that led to high ownership among the beneficiaries. -
ProjectPromoting Sustainable Land Management and Climate-Friendly Agriculture in the Republic of Türkiye - GCP/TUR/055/GFF 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Türkiye encounters several barriers to sustainable land and forest management practices. These are driven by minimal experience among key stakeholders, limited exposure to innovative low-carbon technologies and inadequate legal and institutional frameworks. The project aimed to overcome these barriers through three components that address these needs. The first component focused on rehabilitating degraded forest-and range-lands, producing soil organic carbon maps, certification of dry-land forests and establishing a biodiversity monitoring system. The second component aimed to promote climate-smart agriculture by developing models for conservation agriculture demonstrations, investing in bio-digesters and monitoring the adoption of climate-smart agricultural technologies. The third component focused on creating an enhanced enabling environment for sustainable land management by training 923 farmers to support the project goals, enhancing forest and agriculture policies and implementing a national monitoring program for climate change, biodiversity and sustainable land management. The project targeted government staff and decision-makers, farmers and civil society stakeholders involved in sustainable dryland management and dryland farmers, and was the first of its kind in Türkiye to bring together land degradation, biodiversity and climate change concerns to deliver integrated and synergistic solutions. -

Project evaluation - Management Response
2018Also available in:
No results found.The “Sustainable Land Management and Climate-Friendly Agriculture” Project was implemented in Turkey to improve the sustainability of agricultural and forest land use in the area by rehabilitating degraded forests and rangelands, promoting climate-smart agriculture and establishing a favourable enabling environment. The project was designed to develop the necessary strategies, plans, tools and mechanisms that will aid stakeholders in sustainably managing forest and land resources. The Mid-term Evaluation highlighted that the Project is responding to national and provincial environmental needs and priorities, contributing to the United Nations Development Cooperation Strategy (UNDCS) and the FAO Country Programme in Turkey and is aligned with the priorities of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and FAO’s Strategic Objectives. However, the team will need to better target gender equality and more needs to be done to achieve the target outputs and outcomes.
