G. PETROSYAN. I ran away from one boring meeting to see and listen to you - people who are always in the care of other people. Let's work, comrades, we, the scientists, and you, the publicists. You can skillfully present the most pressing issues. My request: talk more about respect for the land.

Not one state can be strong without fertile soil In Armenia, twenty-five years ago, there were 0.43 hectares per person
container of arable land. Now - 0.16. Anyone seriously interested, worked on this problem? No. I am the director of the Institute of Soil Science and
agrochemistry of Armenia for 24 years. from the day of its foundation. In many places we conduct research and take soil samples

The earth is aging, its fertility is declining. We want to see support in writers. great support and great help.
