Dear Community, dear colleagues!
Happy to have joined here! Stefan Rosenow, a consultant coming from a German organic research and advisory service formerly linked to the chamber of agriculture in Lower Saxony, Germany, in the 1990s. This service developed through the last 25 years to a fully product financed advisory service under an organic product brand.

I am presently working in and irrigation project in Armenia. We are starting off in a 2 year project to establish a most sustainable, that is mainly self-financed advisory service, supporting the implementation of a water efficient, gravity driven, drip or micro-sprinkler irrigation system in three pilot areas to grow and market selected High Value Agriculture products (fruits, nuts and vegetables. The stakeholders are mainly smallholder farmers with on average less than 1 ha of land. It is also foreseen to support farmers and processors/traders in setting up cooperatives or producer groups with government/donor funds for financing investments in agriculture (including irrigation), processing and marketing and enable land consolidation schemes.

So we will be eager to find out, what suitable experience you have for similar situations and thank you for your web-site and organisation!
Best, Stefan
