He also is a member of the reflection board of IAMO’s project “Institutional change in land and labour relations of Central Asia’s irrigated agriculture” (AGRICHANGE) funded by the Volkswagen Foundation. During his three-day stay at IAMO, he engaged with other members of the AGRICHANGE team on current research progress.
