The Uzbekistan "The Food Systems, Land-Use and Restoration" Child Project has been designed under the Global IP to address its land management and policy issues.

The FOLUR project in Uzbekistan seeks to address key drivers of unsustainable management of wheat-dominated landscapes in Uzbekistan by promoting an integral landscape approach, inclusive, sustainable agricultural value chains that address underlying drivers of landscape degradation and enhance Global Environmental Benefits. The project will address weak and fragmented planning processes, conflicting land-use policies and poor participation/inclusion of stakeholders and land-users along the value chain for sustainable food systems and landscape-scale restoration by improving inter-sectoral collaboration through enhanced policy/regulatory frameworks and land-use/hydrology planning that facilitates integrated multi-agency and regional management. The project will apply an Integrated Landscape Management approach, supported by Land Degradation Neutrality principles, Agroecology and Nature-based Solutions, with decisions and planning being informed by the LDN conceptual framework and project developed tools, such as a Decision-Support System and Land Suitability Analysis.

The project targets Karakalpakstan, Khorezm and Kashkadarya regions of Uzbekistan.

Project Objective: To scale up best practices and innovations for sustainable and inclusive wheat-based production landscapes and value chains in Uzbekistan.

The project aims to trigger wide-scale adoption of efficient land management technologies and conservation approaches and promote green value chains to change the trajectory from ecosystem degradation to sustainable management for multiple benefits. As a result, the project plans to sequester 1M tonnes of CO2, restore 50,000 ha and play a key role in placing 350,000 ha under improved land management within the wheat-dominant landscapes of the project regions of the country.
