Synopsis (short abstract) The inaugural issue of the FAO Kyrgyzstan Newsletter (January–March 2025) highlights key developments in agricultural cooperation and sustainable development. A major bilateral meeting between FAO Assistant Director-General and Regional Representative for Europe and Central Asia, Viorel Gutu and Kyrgyz Deputy Prime Minister Bakyt Torobaev emphasized strengthening collaboration in sustainable agriculture and rural development. Another milestone was the launch of the Green Agriculture Initiative, with Kyrgyzstan as a pilot country, aiming to advance eco-friendly farming, reduce environmental harm, and enhance food security. Additional updates cover FAO project achievements in climate-smart agriculture, seed production, and food safety, including capacity-building efforts such as vegetable seed production trainings and farmer field schools to improve yields and resilience. The RuralInvest toolkit further aided farmers in business development and market access, underscoring FAO’s multifaceted support for Kyrgyz agriculture.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat, that has been exacerbated by the inappropriate and excessive use of antimicrobials, especially in the human and livestock-related food-producing sectors. The Regional Legal Report presents the results of an analysis of the national legislation relevant to antimicrobial use (AMU) and AMR in the food and agriculture sector that has been conducted in Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. The document discusses the findings of the legal analysis, gives recommendations for addressing weaknesses and formulates proposals for improving existing legislation in each country, with the ultimate goal of limiting the imprudent use of antimicrobials, and therefore decreasing the spread of AMR in food and agriculture.
