The training will cover key topics including climate-smart agriculture principles, the impact of climate change on seed quality, and strategies for managing plant drought stress.

Participants will strengthen their skills in water-efficient technologies, soil fertility, agroecological practices, and climate risk reduction. Special focus will be given to integrated land use, climate forecasting, and community-based adaptation. The workshop will conclude with a field visit to the Kyrgyz Research Institute of Agriculture (KNIIS) in Pervomayskoye village to observe practical climate adaptation techniques in action.
