EBA Moldova and GIZ Moldova held a mentoring and peer learning session "Green, resilient and climate-oriented practices - application aspects" in the framework of the #PROGRESS project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection through the International Climate Initiative (IKI).
The workshop was designed as an interactive event for stakeholders in the value chains of nut (walnut, almond) and stone fruit crops, with the aim of facilitating the transfer of knowledge and best practices in sustainable agriculture.
Topics covered included adaptation to climate change, use of adapted varieties, soil health conservation, biodiversity protection and innovations in conservation agriculture.
The event brought together national and international experts from the Republic of Moldova and Romania, providing a valuable framework for exchanging experiences and strengthening cross-sectoral collaborations for farmers in the target group. Participants benefited from the interventions of farmers from Romania, who shared tips from their own experience in the ongoing process of adapting to climate change - such as choosing and testing adapted and climate-resilient varieties, but also the use of an intelligent irrigation system adapted to the area, with maximum use of water resources.
