Green University successfully organized a seminar as part of the FOLUR Program, focusing on the impact of food systems, land use, and ecosystem restoration in the Republic of Uzbekistan. This important event was a collaborative effort between Green University, the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection, and Climate Change, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

The seminar provided a dynamic platform for in-depth discussions on sustainable land use practices, ecosystem restoration efforts, and the implementation of nature-based solutions. These conversations aimed to inspire action to address the challenges of land degradation and the urgent need for restoration in Uzbekistan and beyond.

Multiple sustainable practices and their integration methods into agriculture were showcased by the IUCN experts, to improve land management, and build resilient ecosystems. The event also served as an opportunity to explore future collaboration possibilities, as the participants sought to outline concrete steps for future action in the region.

These experts offered valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in terms of improving food systems and land restoration efforts.

This collaboration emphasized the importance of multi-stakeholder partnerships and the role of academic institutions, government bodies, and international organizations in promoting sustainable environmental practices. Together, they laid the groundwork for continued cooperation in the region, working toward a more sustainable and resilient future for Uzbekistan.
