FAO participates in international conference "Seifullin Readings - 22" on future agricultural systems Astana, 10 April 2026 – The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) participated in the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Seifullin Readings – 22: Agricultural Systems of the Future: Sustainable Development, Innovation and Low-Carbon Solutions,” held at the S. Seifullin Kazakh Agrotechnical Research University (KATRU). The conference brought together leading scientists, representatives of government institutions, international organizations and the expert community to discuss key challenges and opportunities for the modernization of Kazakhstan’s agro-industrial sector. The event served as an important platform for knowledge exchange and for showcasing innovative agricultural solutions aimed at enhancing sector resilience in the face of climate change, accelerating digital transformation and supporting the transition to low-carbon development pathways. The opening ceremony featured remarks by Chairman of the Board – Rector of KATRU Kanat Tireuov, Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan Sayasat Nurbek, and Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan Aidarbek Saparov. As part of the conference, an exhibition at the university’s Agrotechnopark highlighted cutting-edge research and technological advancements, including low-carbon solutions, veterinary safety innovations, digital management models for the agro-industrial complex, and applications of artificial intelligence in agriculture. FAO actively contributed to the discussions, sharing global...

Leveraging data and partnerships to scale sustainable agricultural finance in 2026 - Environmental Defense Fund Extreme and unpredictable weather is increasingly affecting farmers and the financial institutions that support them. Over the past year, ag lenders have expanded their efforts to accelerate farmers’ sustainability goals by launching new financial products that support the transition to sustainable practices and embedding climate risk management into their businesses. The latest results of our global ag finance survey are clear: ag lenders recognize that climate impacts are a financial risk to their businesses and farmer customers’ livelihoods. More than ever, ag lenders are looking for ways to proactively help their customers invest in practices that build resilience. To do that, they need data on how climate change is projected to affect their loan portfolios and farmers’ operations, and partnerships to deliver financial solutions that enable farmers to adapt at scale. Building the business case for sustainable ag finance starts with data To manage climate risks effectively, lenders need clear, reliable data on how they are likely to impact farms and financial portfolios. This year, EDF launched a climate risk assessment tool — developed in collaboration with Farm Credit Canada and three major agricultural finance institutions in the U.S. — that provides ag lenders with data-driven projections of climate impacts...

Government information services - A transitioning knowledge source within the agricultural system New producers may be specialized or have prior experience in only one or two aspects. For example, a new entrant may have the expertise and experience required for marketing but lack knowledge in the areas of financing or production. Therefore, new producers must be willing to take on the appropriate training to develop those skills to run a successful business. However, knowledge sources such as agricultural academic institutions, extension services, and consulting services involve payments for education and training, and some new producers may not have the money for such. As a result, a common first response is to rely on the free services the government provides in hopes that the government will point them in the right direction and provide them with available resources and connections, because the knowledge is more accessible. For new producers, having government support when just starting out is critical before scaling up the business or paying for more specialized help. The government employs expertise to disseminate knowledge, provide agricultural education resources, or conduct applied research that translates into the knowledge being disseminated. Contacting agriculture-focused departments Contacting specific agriculture-focused departments within the province to acquire information and knowledge about any particular questions producers might have...

Agricultural Seed: A Short History of the Miraculous Seed Seeds are the foundation of agriculture. As John Navazio describes in this excerpt, America was once home to hundreds of small-scale agricultural seed producers, each of which developed seeds adapted to grow best in the surrounding region. Today, following the trend of most businesses, just a few large companies provide seed for farmers everywhere. With the advent and rapid spread of transgenic seeds, and companies like Monsanto actually owning patents to the organisms they sell, we’ve come a long way since the first human saved the first spelt seed back in the Fertile Crescent! The following is an excerpt from The Organic Seed Grower by John Navazio. It has been adapted for the web. A Short History of Agricultural Seed Seed is the vital link to our agricultural past. All of the changes that have occurred in the domestication of our crops are a reflection of the ingenuity and perseverance of our agricultural ancestors. This is even more wondrous when we realize that all of the plants we rely on for our very existence are derived from wild plants that were not usually succulent; in fact, they were often bitter or sour, far beyond what our modern palates would tolerate...
