Estudo de caso: Iniciativa de forragem hidropónica e criação de gado

The Climate Smart Business Challenge Facility (CSBCF) is a pilot project that aims to identify and support Small and Growing Businesses (SGBs) focusing on low-carbon and climate-resilient solutions in Tajikistan, Pakistan, and India. 

CSBCF is implemented by Aga Khan Foundation in Tajikistan in partnership with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). The project is supported by the IKI Small Grants program, which is part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI) and financed by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) in close cooperation with the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) and the Federal Foreign Office (AA). 

Focusing on the agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU) and water nexus (both adaptation and mitigation), CSBCF creates incentives for SGBs to become champions of green practices and tap into the potential of the private sector to contribute to climate resilience.

 This case study focuses on LLC Zira, an SGB supported by CSBCF in Tajikistan which specialises in hydroponic fodder production for livestock.
