 The Mongolian government is
creating a program to allow Mongolians to grow 100 percent of all vegetables
consumed in the country.
Called the ‘Green Revolution,”
the program was approved in 1999 and now involves 121,000 households
and some 25,000 to 30,000 jobs.
During that time, the Ministry
of Food and Agriculture has sought to teach farming techniques, supply
higher quality vegetable seeds, build greenhouses and even supply farming
equipment, including tractors.
Future plans call for bringing
more impoverished households into the program. Also techniques will
be taught to rid farming areas of harmful insects and to introduce nature-friendly
technologies into vegetable farming.
