Almaty, July 9 (Xinhua) — The Almosi Valley in Tajikistan's Gissar district has been officially recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) as a "globally important agricultural heritage system," the Khovar news agency reported on Wednesday, citing the press center of the FAO office in Tajikistan.
The corresponding decision was made at the meeting of the FAO scientific advisory group held in Rome on July 7-8. The Almosi Valley has become the first and only site in Central Asia with the status of “globally important agricultural heritage system”.
“Until now, only 12 sites in the Europe and Central Asia region have been included in FAO’s Agricultural Heritage List… Now, the Almosi Valley in Tajikistan has joined them, becoming a bridge between Central Asia’s rich natural and cultural heritage and the international community,” said Kaveh Zahedi, Director of FAO’s Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment Division. –0–
