We're Dedicated to Armenia's Organic Foods and Agricultural Development
Green Lane Agricultural Assistance NGO was established in December 2004
by a group of agricultural researchers, farmers, students and agribusiness
professionals dedicated to the common goal of agricultural and rural development
in Armenia and united by a common vision of the ways to achieve it - through
supporting farmer cooperation and development of commercial farming in Armenia!
The NGO possesses considerable professional expertise as it pools the individual
experiences and knowledge of its members. Many of them have worked in the
field of agriculture and rural development for many years.
Green Lane is supported by agricultural cooperatives and farmer groups -
some of them established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Marketing
Assistance Project in Armenia. Green Lane also includes individual farmers,
agricultural and development specialists, researchers, and students - everybody
who shares the ideas and goals proclaimed and pursued by it..
Green Lane As It Is Today
Green Lane is a group of people with a passion and motivation aimed at
creating changes that will improve the Armenian agriculture. It is one of
the leaders promoting the development of organic agriculture. We have developed
good relations with many domestic and international organizations as well
as with farmers and farmer groups.
We have accomplished many
significant projects in the past and have many plans and ideas for the
future.
We maintain a good office location and attractive professional office facilities
and a pleasant working environment with women being well represented and
highly involved in the work of the NGO. Because we are supporting farmers,
many farmers are willing to provide financial support through memberships
in Green Lane.
Looking at Our History
Green Lane was a direct outgrowth of local farmer groups that grew out
of the extension program. Farmers desired an organization of their
own to represent them!
Green Lane has developed a good reputation and is well-known and respected
among Armenian farmers as well as among the colleagues from neighboring
countries and international organizations. The activities of Green Lane
are funded by grants, donations and gifts from mostly international organizations
and individuals.
>> We're proud of who supports Green Lane!
