According to him, one of the main goals of this initiative is to empower rural communities and increase their resilience to climate change.
“The agriculture sector is one of the areas that is directly impacted and threatened by climate change. However, we do not perceive these challenges as a threat, on the contrary, we see them as opportunities to create more sustainable, efficient and modern agricultural systems for future generations.
An innovative approach and modern technologies play a decisive role in the fight against climate change. In this regard, Azerbaijan is modernizing its irrigation systems, creating opportunities for farmers to use water more efficiently and investing in renewable energy sources,” he added.
