On 21 February, the British Embassy in Turkmenistan, in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organisation, had the honour of hosting a screening of “Six Inches of Soil” – a powerful documentary highlighting the urgent need for regenerative agriculture. This was followed by a thought-provoking panel discussion with senior Turkmen government officials, supported by leading professors and agricultural researchers from the renowned British universities.

As Turkmenistan looks to strengthen its agricultural resilience, regenerative practices offer a path toward healthier soils, increased productivity, and long-term food security. The discussion underscored the importance of sustainable land management, biodiversity, and climate adaptation – critical for ensuring a thriving agricultural sector in the years to come.

A huge thank you to our expert speakers, the Food and Agriculture Organisation, representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Environment Protection, and all participants for contributing to this vital conversation. We look forward to continued collaboration in bringing UK’s world-class, innovative, sustainable solutions to Turkmenistan’s agricultural landscape.
