EEC discussed prospects for sustainable agricultural development
On March 12, the round table "Green Horizons: Sustainable Development of Agriculture in the Member States of the Eurasian Economic Union" was held at the Eurasian Economic Commission under the chairmanship of Naira Karapetyan, Director of the EEC Agricultural Policy Department.
The participants discussed approaches to analyzing and modeling the consequences of introducing carbon tax in agriculture of the EAEU countries, the role of green agriculture in reducing the carbon footprint, prospects for inter-country cooperation of organic producers, regulation of greenhouse gas emissions in using fertilizers and a number of other issues.
As Naira Karapetyan noted in her speech, sustainable development of the agricultural sector is becoming more and more important in the world of today, since agriculture is directly related to the use of natural resources and has a significant impact on the environment.
"Mitigation in the EAEU requires transformation of the agricultural and food systems through concerted action and adapting the industry to current realities," emphasized the Director of the EEC Agricultural Policy Department.
