25. My plan for next five years
• Organize seminars/presentations for lectures and students about
Agriculture extension and economics and my experience in the USA.
• During my study in USA I will obtain the knowledge and gain new
experience, which I will bring them with me to my homeland among with
up-to-dates literature and workbooks that in a very sort time I will
translate into Armenian and will inform the faculty staff, as well as
students.
• I will change syllabuses and workbooks; also I with my American and
Armenian colleagues will prepare the methodological instructions and
leaflets from my gaining experience.
• As I visit Armenian farmers' and Water User Associations quite often, I will
organize seminars and trainings for them, based of my experience of the
USA.
• I will continue my research about agriculture advisory system in order to
understand the economic efficiency of advice and I will calculate to
income of farmers, coming only from extension activity.

26. My plan for next five years

positions in the sphere of efficiency of transferring Conventional
agricultural to Sustainable, because in my country there is a
misunderstandings of Sustainable agriculture and efficiency of use of
natural and water resources.
• I am teaching at the Armenian national agrarian University, department of
Agrarian Policy and Consultancy. I will organize different types of seminars
and presentations about my professional experience of the USA, and I will
transfer a knowledge, which I get in the USA. I will create my course plan
according to USA standards, because I have found them very intensive and
more professional.
• During next five years I will have a chance to analyze and compare
American and Armenian actual situation and I will take all efficient and
interesting technologies for innovate and implement in my country.
• As far as after my studying in the USA I will have good networking, I will try
to find some grants from international programs to develop my country
