”There is no danger of starvation in Armenia. There is foodstuffs lack, which is problematic, too”, Armenian Agriculture Deputy Minister Samvel Avetisyan said at a conference. According to him, 119 million people worldwide face the danger of starvation.

Deputy Minister said the Armenian citizens won’t have “a bread problem” this year since unprecedented wheat harvest, up to 475.000 tons is expected.

Biodiversity and its role for providing population with high quality food was today’s topic of discussion.

World population takes 90% of the animal food from 14 kinds of mammals and birds. Only 4 sorts of plants – wheat, corn, rice and potatoes, provide the half for our energy.
