On 1 November 2026, Racines de France® welcomed to its Les Arches Castriotes demonstration site, in Castries, a high-level Mongolian delegation led by the vice-governor of Khövsgöl province.
It brought together the Mongolian University of Life Sciences, Mongolia’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, and the teams of the FAO’s STREAM+ programme and GIZ, the German international cooperation agency.
Following on from the two COP17s
This visit continues the discussions begun at the Business4Land pavilion at the COP17 on desertification in Ulaanbaatar in August, then at the COP17 on biodiversity in Yerevan in October. On site, we talked about trees as a driver of regeneration, agroforestry, and financing the transition through our nature credits (carbon, biodiversity, soil, water) combined in a single nature-based solution.
Shared challenges
From the Mongolian steppes to the garrigue of the Hérault, the adaptation challenges are the same. Sharing good practices means preserving resources, feeding people and strengthening our economies.
Thanks to Agroof and Fabien Liagre, and to our partners Business for Land (B4L), EU CAP Network, EIP-AGRI Support Facility and UNDP.
