Kazakhstan and Germany are exploring cooperation on carbon farming, a practice that aims to increase soil organic carbon and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. The talks took place at Kazakhstan's Ministry of Agriculture with a delegation from Germany's Independent Institute for Environmental Issues (UfU). The discussions covered soil fertility, sustainable land management, and the legal framework for carbon projects. Both sides see potential in using scientific institutes like GIPROZem to support implementation. The goal is to adapt international experience to Kazakhstan's climate and farming conditions. Carbon farming could help Kazakhstan improve agricultural sustainability and make better use of its land. The next step is to develop concrete mechanisms and expand cooperation, but no specific projects or timelines were announced.
