From the outset, ATG has recognized that reforming Armenia's agricultural system involves addressing the needs of the entire society. With that in mind, ATG has undertaken several programs to strengthen civil institutions in Armenia and meet the country's humanitarian needs.

• Vegetable, corn and other seed
  In cooperation with the U.S. private sector and the United Armenia Fund, ATG has channeled more than $16 million worth of donated vegetable and corn seed to Armenia. ATG has distributed the seed to private farmers, orphanages, schools, retirement homes, and individual families throughout Armenia and the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.



• Land privatization law
  Members of ATG's Board of Directors and senior staff members participated in reviewing Armenia's land privatization laws and drafting legislation in the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.



• Environmental clean-up
  ATG has provided funds contributed by private donors to begin preliminary testing to restore agricultural land polluted by past mining operations.



• Reforestation
  ATG is striving to revitalize Armenia's forests. Nearly 750,000 Douglas Fir and Ponderosa Pine seedlings have been grown and nearly 100 acres of forest replanted.



• Student exchange program
  A Secondary School Partnership Program between high school students from Armenia and the United States took place to promote student interaction. The program was funded in part by the U.S. Department of State.



• Beautification
  ATG is actively involved in the beautification of Yerevan's landscape.
