  1. Integration at local levels that promote national level productivity and resilience , which support transboundary cooperation Central Asia • PEOPLE • Linked culturally (language, diet, social habits) • Common agricultural system • Common recent develop history • Common education system

  2. Constraints in Development • Drought (150-200 mm of annual precipitation) in combination with high air temperature (+45oC) and lack of water resources • Soil Salinity (50% in Uzbekistan) • Drying of the Aral Sea • Transboundary water issue • Wheat and cotton are the major agricultural commodities – longer term environmental pollution from high chemical inputs • Frost unpredictability (need for varieties with diverse flowering times) • Winds pick up 100 millions of tons of dust containing salt toxic chemicals

  3. Constraints in Development • Lack of arable lands (0.8 ha/capita in average) • Low soil fertility (40% of organic matters is withdrawn every year) • Transition from large collective farms to small individual farms • Lack of small mechanization • Young people moving away from agriculture • Poor seed production system • (governments support only cotton and wheat)

  6. Changing the landscape in Kyrgyzstan with water and locally adapted traditional temperate fruit tree varieties; climate unpredictability -- changing patterns of when the rain or frost will come Before After Photo: Paul Quek • More than 1.5 million saplings of local varieties or fruit trees produced annually • Legal advise to farmers to ensure land tenure rights • Water managements for seasonal irrigation of individual trees The wellbeing of farmers growing traditional fruit tree varieties has improved. Many farmers have improved their houses from clay mud to brick ones
