Synopsis (short abstract) This project was designed to harness the potential of agriculture in Tajikistan to create jobs, generate income and reduce undernourishment in rural areas through the establishment of greenhouses for vegetable cultivation in seven districts Greenhouses provide a protected environment for the growth of vegetables and the production of seedlings, which can then be sold or consumed by project beneficiaries, boosting their incomes and strengthening food and nutrition security in the targeted areas The project design included capacity development interventions, the construction of locally adapted small scale greenhouses, and the creation of a national strategy for the sustainable production of greenhouse vegetables The project was implemented in two phases after delays during the first phase caused the need for a second.

    Vegetables, together with soybean, provide most of the nutrient rich foods to a large number of people at risk of chronic undernutrition in the country Cooperative farmers grow a wide variety of vegetables, including spinach, Chinese cabbage, red pepper, tomato, cucumber, radish, onion, lettuce, eggplant, and mushroom, both on farm and in a protected environment, namely greenhouses and plastic tunnels Data on the production of vegetables in national farm production in the country are not officially reported Using field level data on a sample of cooperative farms that received FAO emergency assistance to restore production in the wake of floods in 2016 and drought in 2017 it is estimated that about 128 700 ha of cropped area are under vegetables With an average yield of 18 tonnes / vegetables production in the country is estimated at 2 3 million tonnes annually.

    The agricultural and rural sectors, including livestock, forestry and fisheries, contribute roughly 20 percent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. These sectors have also been recognized for their potential to boost the country’s economic growth. Despite their importance, there are significant challenges to the expansion of the sectors, such as the country’s mountainous terrain, which means that arable land is limited; unfavourable natural and climatic conditions that affect production; hundreds of years of intensive farming practices that have led to the deterioration of land and soil; a lack of necessary technical equipment; and low mechanization levels. Because of these issues, the country cannot generate a food supply large enough to feed its population.

    The Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has adopted a forestry greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation mechanism known as “REDD+”, which will provide positive incentives to developing countries to voluntarily reduce their rates of deforestation and forest degradation and increase their forest carbon stocks, as part of a post 2020 global climate change agreement reached at COP 21 in Paris in 2015 (the “Paris Agreement”). The objective of the project was to support Thailand, in particular the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, in establishing a Forest Reference Emission Level (FRL) for REDD+, as well as a Measurement, Monitoring and Reporting (MMR) component of the National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS).
