research cluster shall be formed that includes the implementation of a special profile

contribute to the solution of current problems, to the promotion of young Kyrgyz scientists
and to scientific cooperation. Two of the subprojects deal with the study site, concerning
soil and vegetation, one focuses on aspects of herd management and one on agricultural
extension. Highly motivated students from the existing Bachelor programme at KNAU get
the opportunity to complete their studies within the prospective profile "sustainable land
