Jahongir Babajanov also shared international experience in the development of green agriculture in Europe and Central Asia.

On the second day, FAO projects in Uzbekistan were presented. Mukhammadjon Kosimov, Aziz Nurbekov, Nariman Nishanov and Odina Nazarova explained in detail the developments carried out in their areas, their results and prospects.
Special attention was paid to five key areas of FAO activity in Uzbekistan:
– Reducing the use of pesticides with the support of the European Union;
– Implementation of conservative agricultural practices within the framework of the global initiatives FOLUR and CACILM 2;
– Combating land degradation and increasing soil fertility through the LDN project;
– Supporting small-scale farmers through the use of smart farming technologies.

The participants of the sessions noted the importance of integrating international experience into national priorities for sustainable development. According to the organizers, such events on the sidelines of Eco Expo Central Asia strengthen the dialogue between government agencies, international organizations and farmers, forming a solid foundation for the transition to green and climate-resilient agriculture in Uzbekistan.
