Project description
The agricultural sector represents an important means of livelihood for the rural population in Central Asia. At the same time, the region's agricultural and forest landscapes are at risk of degradation, a situation made worse by population growth and economic development. The SUFACHAIN project therefore aims to analyse agroforestry systems and integrate them into local land use systems, while at the same time developing products and technologies that contribute to the sustainable use of resources and create local value.
Expected Results
The SUFACHAIN project results will include: • recommendations regarding sustainable agroforestry systems for agricultural consultants in Central Asia; • improvements within the production process for processing dry fruit, with a view to increasing product quality and creating value; • a prototype of a high quality processed food made from agroforestry products, including a business plan; • a high quality application for walnut or apricot kernel shell waste within the cosmetics industry; • an integrity platform for agroforestry supply chains; • the evaluation of ecosystem performance and a roadmap for voluntary carbon certification as a recommended course of action for land users and political decision-makers; • a culinary tourism offer in Central Asia.
