Today the third convention under the title of “Path of Sustenance - Reveal the potential of a green Armenia” kicked off, initiated by the “Fruitful Armenia” organization. The event is organized by both the agriculture and foreign ministries.

The UN “Sustenance and Agriculture Organization” dedicated the convention to the international day of provisions. The director of “Fruitful,” Ann-Christine Shirinyan said, “Our purpose is to improve the life of villagers and the village itself.” For that reason, she said, Armenians need to improve their agricultural products and make them available to internal and external markets.

The purpose of the program is to increase production, improve the agricultural economy, increase the nourishment of the products, and govern the human and area resources.

The program has the purpose of helping change from old farming models to new, on which economic advances can be made.
“There is the need for cooperation in the villages. We need to help the villager work the soil correctly,” said the program’s manager, Mark Beghyan.

We note that this is the third such conference. The first, which centered on organic farming, took place in 2005, and the second, concerning water and irrigation, in 2006.
