Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFAO-Turkey Partnership Programme on Food and Agriculture (FTPP II): Reduction of food loss and waste in Central Asia, Azerbaijan and Turkey
GCP/SEC/015/TUR
2020Also available in:
Funded by the Government of the Republic of Turkey, the project aims to assist Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in developing measures to reduce food loss and waste. In particular, the project will support the recipient countries to: • develop national gender-sensitive strategic policy and action plans to reduce FLW; • establish FLW data collection systems, as well as measure and monitor FLW; • improve knowledge management and capacities; and • raise awareness and understanding of FLW (causes, impact and solutions) among actors in all sectors, including consumers, at national and regional level, leaving no one behind. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetLeaving no one behind: greater involvement and empowerment of rural women in Turkey and Central Asia (GCP/SEC/018/TUR) 2022The project will help grass-roots rural women in Tajikistan, Turkey and Uzbekistan, gain knowledge and skills to improve their economic status, start businesses and cooperatives, while empowering them to become agents of change in their communities. The project will also contribute to the creation of an enabling environment for rural women’s economic empowerment. The project will create a regional platform where the ministries of agriculture of Turkey, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan will share challenges, best practices and policy solutions for the implementation of gender responsive agriculture and rural development policies and programmes with the support of regional workshops.

Book (series)Guidelines for feed use in carp and trout production systems in Central Asia and Eastern Europe 2021
Also available in:
In aquaculture, the provision of high quality aquafeeds that satisfy the nutritional requirements of the culture species and optimize growth are a prerequisite to improving production yields, lowering production costs, and improving economic returns to farmers. Under semi-intensive and intensive carp and trout culture, aquafeed costs usually account for the highest single production cost, typically accounting for 50 – 60 percent of total production costs. The aquafeeds available to farmers vary widely with respect to quality, nutritional value and cost. Depending on the feed type, production system and farmer preferences, there are multiple feed management strategies that can be adopted by farmers. In order to optimise feed use and minimise feed production costs, it is essential that farmers select appropriate feeds and optimise their on farm feed management practices. These guidelines are designed to provide farmers with practical guidance on how to select feeds and to optimise their use by implementing appropriate on-farm feed management practices. The guidelines provide an introduction to fish nutrition with a focus on the dietary nutritional requirements of commercially cultured carps and trout. The types of aquafeeds (live feeds, supplementary, farm-made and commercially manufactured feeds), their composition and nutritional value, manufacture and use are discussed. On-farm feed management practices focus on feeding methods, feed storage, and methods to optimise feed consumption (calculating feed rations, feeding frequency, assessing appetite and the feeding response).
