    This poster illustrates how the process of phytoremediation can help mitigate soil pollution. In this process, some plants uptake, remove and stabilize contaminants from the soil, through different mechanisms. Contaminants are then degraded or transformed into less toxic forms, thus reducing the risk posed by pollution.

    The concept note is to introduce the problem in the region regarding obsolete pesticide and soil contamination due to the former Soviet period. Since the issue is a very big challenge in the region, and the disposal of the contaminated soil is not a cost-effective solution to scale-up considering the amount and geographical distribution of the contaminated soils in the region, there should be a new approach to address this significant issue. Therefore, the bio- and phyto- remediation of the pesticide-contaminated soils come forward as a liable and applicable solution. Within the respect of the Global Environment Facility (GEF)-funded and FAO-managed project “Lifecycle Management of Pesticides and Disposal of POPs Pesticides in Central Asian countries and Türkiye”, there have been remediation trials in Kazakshtan and Kyrgyzstan for couple of years. Through this international conference, the results of trials will be explained while prominent experts will share their different experiences in remediation processes in a variety of settings, which provides a good opportunity for introduction of remediation options and knowledge and experience sharing among stakeholders.
