(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 5. The Food and
Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) supports Turkmenistan in
the integrated management of natural resources, Sub-Regional
Coordinator for Central Asia at FAO, Viorel Gutu told .
He stressed that a regional project was launched in 2018 to
scale up integrated natural resources management (INRM) in
drought-prone and salt-affected agricultural production landscapes
in the Central Asian countries and Türkiye (CACILM II).
'Funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the project
aims to scale up integrated landscape management approaches and
INRM practices that will help stabilize soil salinization, reduce
erosion, improve water capture and retention, increase the
sequestration of carbon and reduce loss of agrobiodiversity,
thereby reducing desertification trends in terms of extent and
severity,' Gutu said.
It was noted that the partnership between Turkmenistan and FAO
has grown steadily since the country joined the Organization in
1995. Over the years, FAO technical and policy support has covered
a wide range of areas related to food security, agriculture and
rural development, with an increasing focus on national capacity
building and environmental protection.
