أطلقت لجنة الإنماء الوطني برنامج "نهضة" الزراعي في تموز 2020 استجابة للوضع الإقتصادي المتردي في لبنان. حددت الجمعية أن السبب الرئيسي لذلك التردي، هو الإتكال الكبير في استهلاك المنتجات الزراعية الاستراتيجية على استيراد تلك المُنتجات من الخارج. الحل المباشر يكون في التحول التدريجي للمقومات الإقتصادية الزراعية إلى نموذج إنتاجي تصاعدي وفق خطة طويلة الأمد، يتم ترشيدها بأهداف محددة في الأمن الغذائي، وتنفيذها في خطة علمية منهجية تحرص على استدامة النتائج المتوخاة، لتتكامل مع النسيج الإقتصادي للبنان. يتم مراقبة وضبط نجاح وتقدم هكذا خطة عبر قياس دوري لمكونات محددة وواضحة، استناداً لمعلوماتٍ دقيقة تكون...

يحاول هذا الكتاب أن يساهم في عملية التوعية هذه،...
