May 5, Fineko/abc.az. Introduction of innovative technologies against the effects of climate change in the agricultural sector has become a top priorityIn Azerbaijan.

ABC.AZ informs, quoting Muhammed Nasar Hayat, Resident Representative of the Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Azerbaijan, that some of the main problems currently facing the agricultural sector in Azerbaijan relate to climate change: "As a result of reduction of water resources and deterioration of soil conditions due to climate change, the sector is facing some serious challenges. Therefore, together with the Ministry of Agriculture, as well as communities, academia, and universities, we are working to find solutions for the sustainable growth of agriculture in Azerbaijan. By 2050, the world's population will increase significantly, and we will need to feed more people. Therefore, we must learn how to produce more with fewer resources."

Hayat also stressed the exceptional role of the agricultural exhibition in expanding cooperation: "This is one of the most important events that brings together those working in the agricultural sector, businesses, experts, exporters, importers, technology companies - all key stakeholders working on the development of this sector. Here we discuss ideas and solutions, work together with all kinds of experts, and find practical solutions to the problems faced by the agricultural sector both globally and in Azerbaijan."
