Descripción
Emerging from decades of war in 2002, Afghanistan and it's rich agricultural history were in need of urgent repair and reinvigoration. Since that time, FAO has been based in and operating in country to rehabiliate irrigation infrastructure, build new dairy and wheat seed industries, improve livestock health, help smallholders diversify their crops and add higher-value products, stem deforestation and help the country adapt to climate change. This report presents highlights of the work that has been done in country over the past 15 years, and features stories and testimonials from satisfied FAO beneficiairies. It is organized to reflect the priorities that the Government of Afghanistan has outlined in it's current agricultural development plan, while also showing how FAO's work crosscuts many sectors of agriculture. While it is impossible for every development project to be a succces, this report demonstrates that by and large, FAO has brought increased prosperity, sustainability and self-reliance to the farmers, pastoralists and farm product processors of Afghanistan.
