AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoFood Security: Experts say soil degradation, climate change and air pollution threaten Bhutan’s food supply, with only about 3% of the country’s land classified as arable. They urge stronger research and practical measures, including terrace farming and agroforestry. Ageing and Care: Bhutan’s working-age population is projected to peak around 2031, the World Bank warns, raising pressure on healthcare, long-term care and social pensions as the country ages before becoming wealthy. Dialysis Access: Breakdowns at Trashigang Hospital’s dialysis unit are disrupting care for 10 patients from the east. Poor water quality and ageing equipment are blamed, and patients face difficult trips to other hospitals when treatment is interrupted. Early Childhood: Save the Children Bhutan says more than 2,000 children now access early learning through centres and home-based programmes, but care for children under three remains a gap. The organisation is developing standards and caregiver training to expand support.
