IADAAM Project brought today at the EU booth the discussion on sustainable agriculture to the practical level – exploring how water management, land use, farming practices and knowledge can come together to strengthen agricultural resilience.
Throughout the day, visitors had the opportunity to learn more about IADAAM’s work in Ararat and Armavir, including modern irrigation solutions, sustainable land management, demonstration farms and farmer-centred advisory services.
The programme also highlighted the experience of the Vedi landscape, where water infrastructure, agricultural land and surrounding ecosystems form an interconnected system. The discussions demonstrated why more efficient use of water and land is essential not only for agricultural productivity, but also for reducing pressure on natural resources and supporting resilient rural livelihoods.
Thank you to everyone who visited the EU Booth, took part in the discussions and shared their perspectives.
