The SCO will help countries exchange water-saving practices Kazakhstan came up with an important initiative: to create a special platform on the basis of the SCO for exchanging experience in the field of water-saving agriculture. The proposal was made at the 33rd Yangling Agricultural Exhibition in China. The new mechanism will become a focal point for joint research, training and application of advanced agricultural technologies. The emphasis is on drip irrigation, precision agriculture, digital monitoring of soil moisture and prevention of soil salinization. Water is not only an economic resource, it is the very life and blood of our country. Drought and climate crises do not respect country borders or customs, so the whole world needs to learn to save every drop.
