Addressing Food Security in Central Asia: The cases of Tajikistan and Turkmenistan

Central Asia Program (CAP)

March 1, 2023

  • 10:00 – 11:15 am (America/New_York)
  • 4:00 – 5:15 pm (Europe/Amsterdam)
  • 8:30 – 9:45 pm (Asia/Kolkata)
Information

Food security is a concern in some parts of Central Asia. In Turkmenistan, food rationing and shortages have been reported regularly since at least 2017. In Tajikistan, 1/3 of the total population is currently estimated to be food-insecure, and the majority of the population spends between 70% and 80% of its income on food.

Focusing on these two case studies of Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, renowned specialists will discuss the challenges to food security posed by the impacts of the covid-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and climate change.
