FAO project GCP/GLO/674/RUS - Developing capacity for strengthening food security and nutrition in selected countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia
13 May 2019; Yerevan; Armenia - Farmers work at a Green Training Center where organic garden with anti-hail protection have been created to produce organic agrifood products from small-scale farmers. The Center was established by a female agronomist, Nune Sarukhanyan as a model farm for organic plant production that provides educational and research opportunities to farmers, students and agricultural specialists. Despite a considerable economic growth and improvements in household welfare in the recent years, Armenia remains highly vulnerable to global economic shocks, volatility in international food and commodity prices and weather shocks that negatively affect countries' economy and the food security situation in general. At present, the agricultural sector remains essential for the economy of the country. Agriculture is the main source of economic activity in rural areas and significant contributor to GDP. It produces 14.9 % of GDP (as of 2017) and employs about 36.6 % (2017) of the working population of whom nearly 56% are female farmers. The agricultural sector of Armenia has undergone through the transformation and reforms during the last two decades resulting in a series of policy, institutional, and structural changes. As a result, the ability of the country to maintain food security at the national level does not always translate into better nutrition outcomes at the household level. The Global Hunger Index (GHI) demonstrates that hunger situation in Armenia is about 5 percent.
Since 2016 an FAO Project is targeting the following objectives: increase capacity in the countries of the region to establish an enabling environment for the food security of the most vulnerable populations, improve capacities in governments and other relevant stakeholders for human resource development in the food security and nutrition domain. This has been possible by developing a pilot on School Food and Nutrition Program linked to the Agricultural Sector and a pilot on Streng
