| dc.description | Azerbaijan is located in the southern Caucasus, with mountains covering 47 percent of the country. Rapid development as a result of the oil boom has led to a decrease in poverty, but numerous sites are highly polluted with derived contaminants. To lessen its economy’s dependence on the oil sector, the acceleration of agriculture development is a major national strategic policy. Water scarcity represents a limitation for agricultural productivity causing degradation problems particularly severe and affecting the most vulnerable such as rural communities and smallholder farmers. Most of the population live in either rain-fed areas with high drought frequency or irrigated areas with high water stress, and severe land degradation is affecting their livelihoods. | |
