Book (stand-alone)Озарбайжон, Қозоғистон ва Ўзбекистон қишлоқ хўжалигида тупроқни ҳимояловчи ва ресурстежовчи технологиялар амалиёти бўйича бошланғич қўлланма 2019These Guidelines have been prepared based on the findings of GCP/RER/030/TUR, Conservation Agriculture for irrigated areas in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, which was implemented during 2011-2013. The project has been financed by the Partnership Programme of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Republic of Turkey and implemented by the FAO Subregional Office for Central Asia in cooperation with the International Centre for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA). The Guidelines contribute to SO2. The book summarizes and presents the information on possible ways to adopt Conservation Agriculture (CA) approaches under the conditions of the countries mentioned above and makes recommendations for their further promotion. The Guidelines cover such topics as the significance and current state of agriculture in the project countries, permanent raised-bed planting technologies, zero-tillage technologies, weed varieties and main measures to control them, crop rotation, overview of CA machinery and equipment, and laser-assisted land levelling. The Guidelines target agricultural scientists, specialists, trainers, extension consultants and interested farmers. We hope that the information in these Guidelines will contribute to the promotion of CA, increase of productivity and sustainability in irrigated areas of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and other countries of Central Asia

Book (stand-alone)Proceedings from the International Cold Winter Desert Conference
Central Asian Desert Initiative, 2-3 December 2021, Tashkent, Uzbekistan
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Proceedings from the International Conference on Cold Winter Deserts contain key highlights and outcomes of the conference, presenting research results of the work undertaken in the scope of temperate deserts. The cold winter – also referred to as temperate – deserts, spreading from northern Islamic Republic of Iran across Central Asia to Mongolia – are globally outstanding nature regions. They are an important migration area for birds and the last wild herds of ungulates, such as the Saiga antelope. The enormous land masses deliver a broad range of ecosystem services. Despite their ecological importance, temperate deserts are, according to a study by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), one of the least recognized biomes worldwide. Yet, these deserts, their habitats and species are threatened by desertification caused by overexploitation for firewood collection, inappropriate grazing practices, and large-scale infrastructure development. Ninety-five percent of the temperate deserts are located in Central Asia – hence this region carries a high responsibility for the preservation of this biome. Against this background, the Central Asian Desert Initiative (CADI) aims at preserving biological diversity and the conservation and sustainable use of cold winter deserts in Central Asia. Therefore, in close coordination with local partners, a wide package of measures shall be implemented in the main target countries Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. CADI is jointly implemented by the University of Greifswald (Germany), the Michael Succow Foundation (Greifswald, Germany) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Sub-regional Office for Central Asia (Ankara, Türkiye). This publication is a result of the Central Asian Desert Initiative (CADI) project as part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI). The Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) supports this initiative on the basis of a decision adopted by the German Bundestag.
