On July 24, 2025, another clean-up day was held in one of the microdistricts of the Al-Farabi district of the city of Shymkent, organized as part of the nationwide environmental campaign "Taza Kazakhstan". This time, employees of the district akimat, public utilities and local residents united to restore order in the courtyard of multi-story building No. 18 in the Karasu microdistrict. About 100 people took part in the cleanup, 4 units of special equipment were used. The participants of the event cleared the adjacent territory of garbage, mowed the grass, cut dry tree branches, collected and removed the accumulated rubbish. In total, about 3 tons of waste were removed. Such events are becoming more and more systematic in the city. If earlier cleanups were carried out mainly for holidays or as one-off events, today they have become regular. Local authorities and public utilities, having secured the support of city residents, continue systematic work to improve the sanitary condition of residential areas and increase the environmental culture of the population. The peculiarity of this cleaning was not only in the scale of the resources involved, but also in its timeliness. July is a period of active vegetation growth, and the lack of control over the condition of the adjacent territories can lead to undesirable consequences: accumulations of insects, growth of weeds, violation of sanitary standards. Trimming dry branches and mowing the grass are not just aesthetic measures, but an important prevention of the spread of dangerous diseases and potential fires in hot conditions. The ecological significance of such actions is difficult to overestimate. Systematic cleaning of urban space from garbage directly affects the health of the soil and the purity of the air. Garbage, especially of inorganic origin - plastic, polyethylene, glass - decomposes slowly and can emit harmful substances that poison the environment. Timely removal of such waste helps prevent pollution of the soil and groundwater, which is of paramount importance in a densely populated city. In addition, it is important to note that the population's participation in such clean-up days forms a culture of collective responsibility for the common space. Neighbors become not just residents of the entrances, but like-minded people in an effort to make their city cleaner and safer. This entails increased trust in municipal structures and a stronger connection between the government and society. If we look at the experience of previous years, we can note positive dynamics. In 2023, as part of a similar clean-up day in the Karatau district, only 40 people took part in the action, and it was possible to remove about 1.5 tons of garbage. Already in 2024, the number of participants increased to 70 people, and the volume of waste removed from the territory reached 2 tons. Current indicators indicate that civic activity and involvement in environmental initiatives are increasing every year. In the environmental context, it is also worth touching on the impact of such events on the urban ecosystem. Shymkent, as a large southern city, is subject to certain environmental loads: dust, heat, dense development. In such conditions, the support of green areas, timely care of trees and cleanliness in the courtyards are especially important. Removing dead wood allows trees to grow and breathe better, and mowing the grass reduces the concentration of pollen, which has a beneficial effect on the well-being of allergy sufferers. It is also worth noting that the urban landscape becomes noticeably more attractive after cleaning. This also affects the psychological state of residents, especially the elderly and families with children. A clean yard is a place for walks, communication, and sports. A space where you can feel comfortable and safe. The clean-up day on July 24 is another step towards sustainable development of the urban environment. Representatives of the district administration promised that similar work will be carried out in all microdistricts of Al-Farabi. The plans include areas adjacent to houses, vacant lots, areas along roads and near educational institutions. Schools, youth organizations and the business community are expected to join the events. Thus, such clean-up days are not just technical work on garbage removal, but targeted activities aimed at improving the quality of life in the city, preserving its nature and raising an environmentally conscious generation. Only through joint efforts is it possible to create an environment in which each resident feels responsible for the cleanliness and well-being of the surrounding world. Shymkent continues to confidently move along the path of environmental modernization, focusing on interaction, prevention and the participation of each city resident in the life of their district.

On July 24, 2025, another clean-up was held in the Karasu microdistrict of the Al-Farabi district of Shymkent. This event was organized as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" environmental campaign and was held in the courtyard of multi-storey residential building No. 18. About 100 people and 4 special equipment were involved in the clean-up, which was held in order to maintain urban cleanliness and ecological balance. The volume of garbage collected was 3 tons. The main activities of the Saturday were cleaning yards and public spaces from garbage, cutting dead branches from trees, mowing grass, and sweeping yards. Representatives of the district akimat and municipal services actively participated in the event. This Saturday is not just a cleaning event, but a significant initiative that directly affects the city's ecosystem. Maintaining the city's greenery and pruning old tree branches will allow the natural environment to renew. Also, timely garbage collection will help prevent soil pollution, the proliferation of pests, and the spread of unpleasant odors into the air. For comparison, similar Saturday works were also held in 2022 and 2023. However, while previous events were mostly held only in connection with holidays and specific calendar dates, in the last two years this event began to be held systematically, every week throughout the year. For example, in 2023, a similar Saturday was organized in the Karatau district, and about 1.5 tons of garbage were removed. This year's Saturday saw a significant increase in indicators - this indicates an increase in the activity and environmental culture of residents. In terms of impact on the city's ecosystem, the importance of sanitation measures is significant. Garbage and waste not only harm the eyes, but also negatively affect groundwater, soil quality, and air quality. Plastic waste and chemicals in particular can leach into the soil over time, posing a threat to plant growth and nearby living organisms. Regular sanitation measures are an effective way to prevent these threats. In addition, cutting dead branches from trees and mowing grass also have an ecological value. Dead branches are one of the factors that increase the risk of fire. Cutting them in a timely manner is a concrete measure aimed at preventing fires in the summer. And mowing grass prevents the reproduction of harmful insects such as mosquitoes and ticks, allowing you to protect the health of residents. In addition, Shabbat has a high social significance. Such collective events increase the unity of residents, form environmental awareness and a sense of responsibility. If people living in the courtyards of multi-storey buildings do not neglect the cleanliness of their environment, this will contribute to the improvement of the beauty of the city as a whole and the development of domestic culture. According to local authorities, such measures will continue in the future. One of the main goals is to hold cleaning months in each microdistrict, intensify planting activities, and provide environmental education among residents. In the future, it is planned to widely involve students, youth organizations, and public associations in these Saturdays. It is important to note that environmental measures should not be limited to one-time cleaning. To maintain a sustainable city ecosystem, simple actions by residents in their daily lives, such as sorting garbage, collecting recyclable materials, using water economically, and participating in landscaping, are very important. In conclusion, the clean-up drive in the Al-Farabi district on July 24 is not only a demonstration of cleanliness, but also a harmonious partnership between the city's residents and the authorities. We all need to be active to preserve the ecosystem. Protecting nature and keeping the city clean is a common task. Through this clean-up drive, the residents of Shymkent once again proved their responsibility for their city.

On July 22, 2025, a meeting of a special commission was held in Shymkent, which determined the operator for the distribution of diesel fuel intended for autumn field work. This decision became an important part of the preparation for the seasonal campaign in the agricultural sector and directly affects the efficiency of farms in the region. Autumn agricultural activities require a reliable supply of fuel and lubricants. That is why working groups are formed in advance at the city level, including representatives of the akimat, the agricultural department, technical specialists and farmers. The main task of the commission is to select a supplier capable of ensuring uninterrupted and environmentally safe delivery of fuel to the sites. The meeting considered proposals from several potential operators. The main selection criteria were logistics capabilities, availability of infrastructure, compliance with safety requirements and, importantly, minimization of environmental impact. In the context of growing interest in the environmental sustainability of urban development, this point has acquired special significance. One of the key topics was the discussion of the impact of transportation and storage of fuel and lubricants on the state of the ecosystem of Shymkent and adjacent agricultural areas. Representatives of the commission emphasized that the operator is obliged to use specialized tanks, sealed containers and certified equipment that eliminates leaks and pollution of soil, water bodies and atmospheric air. Looking back at previous years, similar meetings were held in 2022 and 2023, but in some cases the process of organizing supplies was delayed. This had a negative impact on the pace of sowing and harvesting, especially in remote communities. Farmers then faced delays due to untimely distribution of fuel and logistical failures. It was this experience that prompted local authorities to more clear and transparent planning in 2024, and the approach was further improved in 2025. The selected operator assumes responsibility not only for fuel delivery, but also for consulting farmers on the proper storage and use of fuel and lubricants. Information on the needs of agricultural enterprises is also collected to avoid shortages or irrational distribution of resources. This approach reduces the risk of equipment stopping in the midst of field work and helps to increase crop yields. However, in addition to production tasks, there is also an environmental issue on the agenda. The use of large quantities of diesel fuel is a potential threat to the ecosystem. Violation of storage and transportation rules may result in emissions of harmful substances, air and soil pollution, which is especially dangerous near water bodies and populated areas. To minimize such risks, environmental protection specialists also took part in the work of the commission. They proposed introducing a system of regular monitoring at storage and filling sites, including air measurements, soil analysis, and monitoring of compliance with sanitary standards. In addition, the idea of creating mobile environmental laboratories that can quickly respond to possible incidents is being considered. Special attention was paid to the development of a logistics scheme, whereby filling points will be located at a safe distance from residential areas, reservoirs and nature conservation areas. This is necessary to eliminate even the slightest threat to the flora and fauna of the city and suburban areas. The commission also proposed considering alternative energy sources for agriculture in the future, such as biofuels or hybrid models of agricultural machinery. For now, these are just plans, but such initiatives are already gaining support from the public and environmentalists. Thus, the past meeting of the commission in Shymkent was not just a technical stage in preparation for the agricultural season, but a comprehensive work to ensure food security and preserve the environment. The selected operator will have to not only fulfill its obligations to supply fuel, but also comply with increased requirements for environmental responsibility. This is an example of how a systemic approach, based on past experience and modern standards, can ensure sustainable development of the agricultural sector without harming the urban ecosystem. In the context of climate change and increasing pressure on natural resources, such solutions are becoming increasingly relevant and significant for a sustainable future.

On July 22, 2025, a meeting of the commission was held in Shymkent to determine the operator of fuel and lubricants for agricultural producers to carry out autumn field work. This event was aimed at creating the necessary logistics base before the start of an important stage in the agricultural sector - sowing, fertilizer application, and field work. The commission included representatives of the local akimat, the agricultural department, entrepreneurs, and technical specialists. The commission considered the operator's service capacity, fuel supply volume, compliance with technical requirements, and environmental safety measures. In addition, indicators such as the operator's ability to efficiently transport fuel via rail, road, or warehouse systems, and taking into account the impact on the region's natural resources, were relevant. The volume of diesel fuel allocated to the Shymkent region has been planned in sufficient quantities, and one or more operators have been identified to ensure timely and uninterrupted supply of agricultural machinery arriving in the region. This was achieved through a comprehensive analysis of experienced specialists and infrastructure resources. This approach is not only effective in terms of fuel delivery, but also in terms of organizational efficiency. The selected operator ensures timely completion of field work by providing the necessary capacity for agricultural machinery in a timely manner. Given that the problems of water shortage and soil dryness traditionally arise in the summer and autumn periods, such planned provision is important for farmers. Social and environmental aspects were also not ignored. The commission was guided by the fact that the operator would cause minimal damage to the ecosystem when using fuel. In accordance with special environmental standards, it was necessary to prove that the operator's fleet met technical requirements, followed safe storage and distribution methods for fuel without spills. In order to prevent soil and surface water contamination, the operator must equip fuel storage facilities. This is an important task aimed at environmentally responsible management. In addition, the use of environmentally friendly techniques and filtration systems was considered to reduce the amount of hydrogen and carbon emissions released into the air. Compared to the experience of previous years, in 2022 and 2023, the supply of autumn field fuel was often not timely and in sufficient quantities, which led to delays in sowing in some rural areas. Unpreparedness of operators or poor infrastructure led to losses of agricultural products. In 2024, this problem improved somewhat, and major assessments and requirements were introduced among fuel suppliers, so the creation of the commission in 2025 is a continuation and improvement of that experience. Regarding potential environmental impacts, there are risks of spills, pollution, and indirect damage to trees and grass during fuel transportation. To prevent this, the operator should have special tanks, a spill cleanup system, and emergency preparedness measures in place when working with fuel. This will not affect the rural ecosystem or biodiversity. According to the decision of the commission in Shymkent, after the operator is selected, it is planned to introduce monitoring along with fuel distribution. This means that the status of the ecosystem should be constantly assessed, and the quality of air, soil, and water should be checked as a combined direction of control. This time, environmental safety and agricultural productivity were considered simultaneously. The commission meeting considered not only the operator's technical accessibility and infrastructure capabilities, but also the location of fuel exchange points. This is also important in order to avoid harm to the environment - the fuel station should be located at an appropriate distance from urban areas and water sources. In conclusion, after the commission selected the operator, specific plans were approved aimed at effectively organizing autumn field work. This is an important event that will give impetus to the development of the agro-industrial complex. Some experts believe that additional mechanisms should be introduced to conduct environmental audits and monitor fuel compliance with environmental standards, in collaboration with fuel operators. This will allow for the restoration of a balance between agriculture and the conservation of natural resources in the future. Thus, the commission meeting on July 22, 2025 is a clear demonstration of responsible management practices that combine fuel supply and ecology. If implemented, this balanced approach will allow increasing the efficiency of agriculture without harming the city's ecosystem. At the same time, taking into account the shortcomings of previous years, a systematic step was taken towards an efficient and safe supply system in 2025.

On July 23, 2025, large-scale chemical treatment of agricultural areas against single (sayak) locusts began in Shymkent. This work is carried out on the recommendation of the Republican Methodological Center for Phytosanitary Diagnostics and Forecasts, and is aimed at preventing the spread of pests that annually threaten the region's agriculture. Locusts are one of the most dangerous seasonal disasters for the agricultural regions of Southern Kazakhstan. Under favorable weather conditions and without timely measures, pests can quickly destroy crops, grass on pastures and even individual bushes. This season, an increase in the number of single locusts was recorded, which required a rapid response from authorized bodies. Specialized mobile teams equipped with ground equipment, drones and hand sprayers were deployed to combat the pests. The work covers more than 3,000 hectares of land, including household plots, pastures and fields in suburban areas. The treatment is carried out mainly in the morning and evening hours to reduce the possible impact on people and animals, as well as to achieve the greatest effectiveness against locusts, which are most active at these hours. The preparations used comply with modern safety standards. These are selective pesticides aimed exclusively at pests. They quickly decompose in the environment, do not accumulate in the soil and do not pose a threat to humans or animals if all instructions are followed. However, despite the safety of the chemicals, it is important to consider the potential impact on the ecosystem as a whole. One of the most important aspects discussed by experts is the impact of treatment on biodiversity. Locusts, despite their harmful nature, occupy a certain niche in the food chain. They are hunted by birds, lizards and some insects. A sharp reduction in their numbers can lead to a disruption of the food supply of these species. In addition, even safe preparations, if used incorrectly, can affect the populations of bees and other beneficial insects. Therefore, the entire treatment process is accompanied by environmental monitoring, which assesses the condition of the soil, air and water in the treated areas. Comparing the current campaign with previous years, significant changes in the approach to phytosanitary safety can be noted. For example, in 2022, outdated preparations with a higher toxicity level were used in some regions of Southern Kazakhstan, which caused alarm among environmentalists and agricultural producers. Cases of mass death of pollinating insects were recorded, as well as complaints from the population about odors and deterioration in health. Since then, the approach to treatment has been seriously modernized: new, environmentally friendly preparations have been introduced, safety precautions have been improved, and public awareness has become more systematic. In some regions of Kazakhstan, such as Turkestan and Zhambyl, biological control methods have been actively tested in recent years. Predatory insects, fungi, and bacteria that attack locusts are used as an alternative to chemicals. However, biological methods are still less effective in the event of a sharp increase in pest numbers. Therefore, a mixed approach has been chosen in Shymkent: the priority is safe chemical protection with mandatory environmental monitoring and comprehensive analysis of the consequences. It is important to note the active interaction with the population. Before the start of the treatment, local authorities warned residents about the time and place of the events through the media, messengers and announcements. Those living near the treated areas were asked to temporarily limit their stay in the open air, not to drive cattle to pastures and thoroughly wash the harvest from vegetable gardens. Citizens were also recommended to ensure the protection of bees and other domestic insects by moving hives away from the danger zone. According to experts, current measures will not only help preserve the harvest and reduce farmers' economic losses, but will also serve as important experience for organizing similar operations in the future. With the right approach and compliance with all standards, it is possible to achieve a balance between protecting agricultural interests and minimizing damage to the environment. It is planned that after the treatment is completed, a comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness and environmental impacts will be carried out. This will allow for adjustment of future strategies and a further shift in focus towards sustainable and bio-safe pest control methods. Thus, the fight against locusts in Shymkent in 2025 became an example of a thoughtful and systematic approach that combines technology, safety and responsibility to society and nature.

On July 23, 2025, large-scale chemical treatment against locusts began in Shymkent. This event was organized on the recommendation of the Republican Methodological Center for Phytosanitary Diagnostics and Forecasts. Due to the current threat to agriculture in the city, local authorities and specialists are taking urgent action and trying to limit the spread of harmful insects. Locusts have been multiplying, especially since mid-July, and have begun to threaten arable land and pastures. Locust invasions are a common seasonal phenomenon in the southern regions. If timely measures are not taken, they can destroy a significant part of agricultural products. Therefore, specialists have intensified preventive measures. Chemical treatment is currently being carried out on more than 3,000 hectares of land near the city. Special equipment, drones and sprayers have been involved in these works. Treatment is carried out in the morning and evening, since during these periods the insects are active, and the movement of residents and livestock facilities is low. The pesticides used are selected in accordance with modern safety standards. They are biodegradable and are aimed at affecting only pests and not harming beneficial insects, animals and humans. However, it is clear that any chemical intervention will have a certain impact on the ecosystem. To prevent this impact, the relevant authorities conduct environmental monitoring and monitor the condition of soil and water sources in the cultivated areas. When talking about possible impacts on the ecosystem, we should not forget that locusts themselves are part of the natural biocenosis. Many birds and insects feed on them. Therefore, a sharp decrease in their number can negatively affect the balance in the ecosystem. In addition, if residues of substances used during processing accumulate in the soil or water sources, this can also cause long-term harm. However, it is expected that the drugs used today will decompose naturally in a short time. These processing measures are not the first time that Shymkent has been carrying out these activities. Similar processing operations were carried out in 2022 and 2023. However, the chemicals used during those periods had a greater impact on the natural environment. That is why a decrease in the number of bees and other beneficial insects was recorded. In recent years, more attention has been paid to agroecological approaches in Kazakhstan, and biological control methods are being put into practice. For example, in 2024, a biological processing method against locusts using parasitic insects was used in the Turkestan region. Although this method is less harmful to the ecosystem, it is less effective, so this year a decision was made in Shymkent to use a mixed approach - that is, to combine chemical and control and analytical work. Public education is also being carried out systematically. The city's agricultural department, representatives of the sanitary and epidemiological service, and local akimats are warning residents in advance and explaining safety rules. Through social networks, local press, and advertising media, citizens are being provided with accurate information about the time and place of chemical treatment, as well as precautions. Among the main rules recommended to the population are recommendations such as not to go out into the field during treatment, not to let livestock out to pasture, thoroughly wash vegetables and fruits, and boil running water. The fight against locusts in Shymkent is a systematic measure aimed at protecting agriculture. The main goal of these works is not only to reduce the damage caused by pests to agricultural products, but also to maintain environmental stability. The use of modern methods and environmentally friendly preparations is becoming more effective and safer than in previous years. However, these works must be constantly monitored to reduce the potential impact on the ecosystem, and in the future, the need to increase the share of biological methods will remain on the agenda.

On July 25, 2025, one of the largest investment projects in the country's agricultural sector was presented in the industrial district of Shymkent - the construction of an industrial greenhouse complex by ALSERA KZ. This large-scale project is designed to bring domestic agriculture to a new level, using advanced technologies and modern methods of running agribusiness. The project envisages the creation of a high-tech complex equipped with climate control systems, automated control and resource-saving technologies. At the same time, special attention is paid to environmental issues and minimizing the negative impact on the environment. The Shymkent region, like many southern regions of Kazakhstan, is characterized by limited water resources and a vulnerable ecosystem. In this context, ALSERA KZ sets itself the task of not only increasing agricultural production, but also doing so in the most sustainable way from the point of view of environmental safety. One of the key areas is the efficient use of water resources. Innovative drip irrigation systems are being introduced in the greenhouse complex, allowing for a significant reduction in water consumption compared to traditional methods. Moreover, the complex is equipped with installations for collecting and reusing rainwater and wastewater, which helps reduce the load on local water sources. Also, when designing the complex, the conservation of land resources is taken into account. Instead of expanding the cultivated areas in natural areas, the enterprise uses the industrial zone, which prevents soil degradation and reduces anthropogenic impact on natural ecosystems. An important aspect is also the integrated waste management system. Organic waste is used to produce compost, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers, and packaging materials are sorted and recycled, which reduces the amount of waste ending up in landfills. The project makes extensive use of renewable energy sources, including solar panels, as well as energy-efficient lighting and climate control systems, to reduce carbon emissions and reduce the negative impact on the region's climate. Biological methods of pest control, replacement of pesticides with natural enemies of insects and the use of environmentally friendly products are another example of ALSERA KZ's commitment to the principles of sustainable development. Small greenhouse projects have been implemented in Shymkent and its environs before, but they were not distinguished by such a large-scale application of modern environmental technologies. In many cases, such farms did not pay due attention to environmental protection, which led to the depletion of water resources and environmental pollution. ALSERA KZ is becoming a pioneer of a new approach that integrates economic efficiency and environmental responsibility. Unlike previous initiatives, the creation of a greenhouse complex here is accompanied by constant monitoring of the environment and regular adjustments to processes in order to minimize damage. The project has a positive impact not only on agriculture, but also on the economy of the region as a whole. The creation of new jobs, development of infrastructure and increased production of fresh vegetables and fruits stimulate socio-economic growth and improve food security. Particular attention is paid to training personnel and attracting young specialists, which contributes to the formation of competent personnel and the development of the agro-technological sector. The industrial greenhouse complex "ALSERA KZ" is not just a large-scale agricultural project, but an example of a comprehensive, environmentally oriented approach to the development of agriculture. Its implementation shows that modern production can be not only efficient, but also environmentally friendly. This approach is particularly relevant in the context of climate challenges and the need for rational use of limited natural resources. The success of the project in Shymkent will stimulate the implementation of similar initiatives throughout the country and will strengthen Kazakhstan's position as a responsible participant in the global sustainable development process. As a result, ALSERA KZ opens a new stage in the development of the agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan, where advanced technologies and concern for the environment go hand in hand, creating conditions for stable and long-term growth of the industry.

On July 25, 2025, an event was held in Shymkent to familiarize itself with the construction progress of an industrial greenhouse complex being implemented by the “ALSERA KZ” Limited Liability Partnership, which is one of the largest investment projects in the country. This is one of the largest agricultural investments between Kazakhstan and Turkey. The event was attended by the city administration, agricultural specialists, investors, project technical staff, and public activists. Project scope and features The complex is located in the "Bozaryk" industrial zone in Shymkent. This greenhouse complex, with a total area of 500 hectares, will be implemented in two stages. In the first stage, an area of up to 200 hectares will be fully developed and put into operation by the end of 2026. In the second stage, the remaining 300 hectares will be completed by 2028. The investment volume is 650 million US dollars. This is one of the largest financial investments in greenhouse complexes in Kazakhstan. After the complex is launched, it is planned to produce up to 155 thousand tons of tomatoes per year. In addition, it is expected to create about 5,000 new jobs. New technologies and environmental efficiency The complex will be fully equipped with modern digital and automated technologies. It will use smart climate control systems, automatic irrigation and fertilizer supply systems, and energy-saving light sources. This will not only improve product quality, but also make it possible to use resources more efficiently. The project is also environmentally friendly. The greenhouse complex includes water-saving technologies and the use of solar energy. This, in turn, reduces the burden on the environment. The company "ALSERA KZ" has taken on significant obligations not only in terms of economic, but also in terms of social responsibility. The investors plan to develop housing for workers, kindergartens, sports grounds and other social infrastructure. This shows that the project has real benefits for the local population. Over the past decade, several projects aimed at developing greenhouse complexes have been implemented in Kazakhstan. However, their scale and technological capabilities were significantly smaller than the current “ALSERA KZ” project. For example, greenhouse projects implemented in various regions of Kazakhstan in 2022-2024 averaged 20-50 hectares and produced 15-30 thousand tons of products. The number of people employed was also limited to a few hundred people. The “ALSERA KZ” project is a new qualitative level. Its main feature is a full-fledged agro-industrial system that covers the entire production cycle, from seeds to product export. The complex's products will not only fully supply the domestic market, but will also be exported to foreign markets. At the initial stage, it is planned to export to Russia, Central Asia, the Middle East and South Korea. This will increase the potential of Kazakhstan in exporting agricultural products to the world market. The implementation of such a large-scale project will have a positive impact on the economic development of Shymkent. New infrastructure will be built around the greenhouse complex, and related industries such as logistics, transport, storage, packaging will also develop. These are new opportunities, sources of income and permanent jobs for the residents of the city and the region. Project impact on the ecosystem During the implementation of the project, special attention is paid to the issue of ecological balance and efficient use of natural resources. The ecosystem of Kazakhstan, especially in the southern regions, is very sensitive to climate change, water scarcity and soil degradation. Therefore, the industrial greenhouse complex should not have a negative impact on the environment, but, on the contrary, should work towards saving natural resources and reducing waste. 1. Rational use of water resources Shymkent region is a water-scarce region. In this regard, the greenhouse complex will introduce technologies for collecting and reusing rainwater and wastewater, drip irrigation systems, and water filtration. These methods will not only provide plants with the necessary moisture, but also allow preserving groundwater and surface water sources. 2. Conservation of agricultural lands Compared to conventional fields, the greenhouse system allows you to get more products from a much smaller area. This is very important for preserving the natural land resources and biological diversity of the region. The “ALSERA KZ” complex is located in a special industrial zone, without developing dry lands, which is also a way to avoid putting pressure on the land ecosystem. 3. Waste management The complex will be equipped with waste sorting and recycling systems. Organic waste will be used as compost, helping to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers. In addition, plastic and other packaging waste will be specially collected and sent to recycling plants. 4. Reduce your carbon footprint The greenhouse complex will minimize carbon dioxide emissions through the use of solar panels and energy-efficient lighting sources. In addition, it is planned that electricity will be generated from renewable sources. 5. Biological control The complex will use biological methods to combat pests: instead of chemical pesticides, beneficial insects and natural plant extracts will be used. This approach will not only ensure the ecological purity of the product, but also prevent soil and water pollution. The importance of the presentation The orientation event on July 25 was a manifestation of establishing an open dialogue between the public and the investor. Participants received detailed information about the project, had the opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions. In addition, this event drew the public's attention to a new direction in the agricultural sector. The “ALSERA KZ” greenhouse complex is not only an agricultural project, but also a project that combines the economy, social sphere, and technological development. The production and social facilities implemented within its framework are a concrete step towards the sustainable development of our country. This complex, which is being built in the industrial zone of Shymkent, is likely to become one of the largest export centers in the agricultural sector of Kazakhstan in the future. Such projects will undoubtedly help ensure the country's food security and strengthen its position in the global market.
