As the only project with Central Asia respect AGRIWANET is also presented next to four other BMBF-funded projects at the Tropentag. The annual Conference on Tropical and Subtropical Agricultural and Natural Resource Management (Tropentag), taking place from 18 to 21 September 2016 in Vienna, will host a separate BMBF session. The Tropentag brings together delegates from up to 80 countries for the EU's largest conference on tropical-related research. AGRIWANET examines the complex relationships between water availability and agricultural restructuring in Central Asia. Within the project a transnational database for agricultural development in Central Asia is established and analyzed in the context of a network of experienced and young researchers from the region. The project involves researchers from all five countries in the region (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan).
