This video showcases two ongoing FAO and UNOSSC projects, funded by the Russian Federation, in the Fergana Valley and the Sahel region. In the Fergana Valley, spanning Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, the project promotes Climate-Smart Agriculture and innovative technologies to help farmers address climate challenges while improving soil and water conservation. In the Sahel, where arid conditions and irregular rainfall threaten agriculture, the project supports sustainable irrigation, water, and land management. Through cooperation among Mali, the Niger, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, and Chad, the project will enable the exchange of best practices and regional expertise to enhance food security and resilience.
