Majnun Mammadov, Azerbaijan’s Minister of Agriculture, announced a land consolidation project that will initially cover 19 villages in the Salyan and Gabala districts.
The project aims to combine scattered land plots into larger, more efficient farms. Recent legal changes now permit the government to move forward with this initiative, which will begin with 20,000 hectares of farmland. Azerbaijan is basing its approach on the experience of Turkey.
Officials from both countries have visited each other’s farms and land to study best practices and assess conditions in the Gabala and Salyan regions. Planners are currently mapping out the project, and field work is expected to begin within one year. The land consolidation project was discussed during the Fourth Baku Climate Action Week, an event focused on sustainable agriculture and climate resilience. Representatives from governments, international organizations, and private companies gathered in Baku to discuss climate change solutions.
Baku Climate Action Week will continue to September 11.
