For more information contact Gero Fedtke.On 26-27 January, WECF and the project partner invite representatives from the three project villages in Armenia, from village and district administrations, and from research institutes, as well as officials from the Armenian water supply sector and the ministries for Nature Protection and Agriculture to a two-day seminar on wastewater treatment and organic farming. In most EECCA countries, like Armenia, wastewater treatment is almost absent in rural areas. The same is true for the prevention of groundwater contamination through agrochemicals. The two-day seminar will present the methods used by the TMF project activities and findings of the first project year to the audience with the aim to stimulate discussion and cooperation between stakeholders, how low-cost decentralized wastewater treatment can be realized and organic farming practices be used on a larger scale. In the following two-day meeting, project partners will evaluate their achievements of the first project year and discuss the planned steps for the second year.
