Sustainable Agriculture Development and Carbon Sequestration in Kyrgyzstan

From March 24 to 31, 2026, a series of meetings on sustainable agriculture development and carbon sequestration were held in Osh, Bishkek, and Manas town in Jalal-Abad region.

The events were organized within the framework of the “Value Chain Agro Finance” project and brought together representatives of government institutions, local authorities, farmers, partner organizations, and experts from the agricultural sector.

During the meetings, participants discussed resource-efficient and regenerative agricultural practices, as well as their role in enhancing the sustainability of agricultural production. Particular attention was given to no-till farming technology as a key approach for preserving soil moisture, increasing productivity, and restoring soil fertility.

In addition, participants explored opportunities for carbon sequestration in agriculture and the potential for carbon credit certification. These mechanisms could provide farmers in Kyrgyzstan with access to climate finance and create additional income streams in the future.

The meetings served as an important platform for knowledge exchange and coordination among stakeholders, contributing to the development of a shared vision for sustainable growth in the country’s agricultural sector.
