IADAAM Smarter Water, Stronger Harvests – Building the Future of Sustainable Agriculture

Within the framework of the IADAAM project, Project Manager Karen Harutyunyan, accompanied by AEST Vedi Coordinator Vardan Ivanyan, visited the Vedi reservoir’s on-farm network to observe the installation of state-of-the-art filtration systems.

These modern systems are designed to ensure cleaner, more reliable irrigation water, reducing blockages and wear in drip systems, improving water distribution efficiency, and ultimately increasing crop productivity.

By introducing such advanced solutions, the IADAAM project is helping to secure sustainable water management in agriculture – a key driver for higher yields, healthier orchards, and resilient farming communities in the region.

Smart irrigation is more than technology – it’s an investment in the future of our farmers.

Irrigated Agriculture Development in Ararat and Armavir marzes (IADAAM) project, financed through the European Union (EU) with implementation by the French Development Agency (AFD) is an integrated initiative aimed at transforming irrigated agriculture in Armenia.
