This video highlights two FAO and UNOSSC projects funded by the Russian Federation in the Fergana Valley and the Sahel region. In the Fergana Valley, which includes Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, the initiative promotes Climate-Smart Agriculture and innovative technologies to help farmers tackle climate challenges while enhancing soil and water conservation.

In the Sahel, where agriculture faces threats from arid conditions and irregular rainfall, the project focuses on sustainable irrigation and land management. Collaboration among Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, and Chad will facilitate the exchange of best practices to improve food security and resilience.
