Karabakh was once a South Caucasus breadbasket. Yet, the wanton destruction and ecocide of the occupation era pushed down production and created an environmental disaster.
Liberation must transform that regressive dynamic. According to Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates, by 2050, humankind will need to produce 60 per cent more food to feed up to 9.3 billion mouths.
Azerbaijan is revolutionising agriculture, adopting cutting-edge advances that enhance traditional skills and roll back historical losses to restore Karabakh’s degraded land and promote sustainable production.
