Background Information As part of the FAO - GEF GCP/TAJ/021/GFF “Facilitating agrobiodiversity (ABD) conservation and sustainable use to promote food and nutritional resilience in Tajikistan” project, FAO supported the establishment of a community Seed Bank at the Saloh farm in Tojikobod. The initiative empowers a local woman farmer to conserve local crop wild relatives (CWR), manage demonstration plots, and organize beekeeping activities. Support included a dedicated seed bank facility, tools and machinery, seeds, seedlings, and equipment for five beehives.
