These events were organized within the framework of the “Food Systems, Land Use and Land Restoration Impact Program in Uzbekistan (FOLUR)” implemented in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Center for Agricultural Projects in the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

The training program, organized in collaboration with ICARDA and the Jordanian National Agricultural Research Center (NARC), brought together representatives from the National Center for Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation, the Project Office, sectoral research institutions, and FAO.
