    Once a thriving agricultural zone, the people of Tajikistan’s Rasht Valley face a number of insecurities that together impact their daily survival, livelihood and dignity. Among these, deterioration of the agricultural infrastructure following the political transition and conflict in the 1990s has led to a dramatic reduction in the region’s productivity and food security. In addition, prospects for economic revitalization and investment in infrastructure are often curtailed by persistent outbreaks of localized conflict and the impact of instability in neighbouring Afghanistan.
