Immediately after the conclusion of the 17th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD COP17), held in Ulaanbaatar on 17–28 August 2026, the 3rd Central Asian Organic Forum & Expo – 2026 took place in the capital of Mongolia. The Forum, organized on 29–30 August by the NGO “Silk Road Peace Ambassador” with the support of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry of Mongolia, became a practical continuation of the international discussion on land restoration, pasture resilience, soil health and food-system transformation — issues that also featured prominently on the COP17 agenda.
