Synopsis (short abstract) The rapid development of a large scale and intensive farming industry in Hainan has led to a sharp increase in livestock and poultry manure, which poses a significant challenge to both the ecological environment and human health The treatment and disposal of livestock manure have become a bottleneck that limits the development of the breeding industry in a green and sustainable way In recent years, China has attached great importance to the development of ecological circular agriculture Biogas treatment has arisen as an important way to manage livestock manure By utilizing manure to produce biogas and then promoting the use of biogas, rural areas can greatly reduce the use of fuel and coal Rural sanitation and living environment can be improved, and soil health and plant growth can also benefit from the provision of biogas slurry nutrient If well managed, the biogas can provide an effective and efficient alternative in support of green and ecological agriculture development Hainan Province is a tropical island in China Tropical cash crops, and livestock and poultry farming are the major income sources for Hainan farmers Located in the north of Yazhou District, Sanya City, Hainan Province, Beiling Village is home to 3 857 famers, including 3 852 from the Li ethnic minority, accounting for 99 9 percent of the total Local villagers rely on mango and banana as the main cash crops.

    In recent decades, chemical pesticides and fertilizers have been widely applied in agricultural production in China Although this has improved production in terms of quantity, it has also diminished soil health, jeopardized the natural environment, and affected the quality of both food production and people’s health In response, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs initiated a programme of Zero Growth of Pesticide and Chemical Fertilizers by 2020 Following a call from central government, the major rice production area of Chongming Island of Shanghai needed to establish new standards and practices for the production of quality green rice with zero chemical input Chongming Island is located in the northern part of Shanghai Municipality and serves as the estuary of Yangtze River to the Eastern China Sea It offers unique geographical and ecological advantages for agriculture development, possessing 25 percent of Shanghai’s rural areas and grain production, and accounting for 22 percent of total rice production in Shanghai.

    Kyrgyzstan is one of the most vulnerable countries to the impacts of climate change in Central Asia It is affected by drought, land and mudslides while flooding events and river banks erosion are set to increase in frequency and intensity Recurrent extreme weather events and marked changes in microclimate are already being observed with particular magnitude in target areas Forests and pastures are among the most sensitive resources being impacted by climate change and reduced productivity of low altitude pastures and decreased resilience of forest ecosystem are increasing the vulnerability of communities and negatively impacting rural livelihoods Climate change, coupled with unsustainable management of natural resources, threatens both key ecosystems and Kyrgyzstan’s cultural heritage and development opportunities The Government of Kyrgyzstan is developing plans and programmes to tackle climate change however, significant resources are needed to implement them Against this background, the Government requested that FAO provide technical assistance to design and start up a Green Climate Fund ( funded investment project aimed at increasing mitigation, climate resilience and low emission sustainable development as well as preparing a funding proposal for the project, and strengthening stakeholder capacity to implement it.
