Coming on 13 and 14 may the Superior School of Agriculture of Barcelona (Esab) will host the day I of agro-ecology and organic farming, one of the new paradigms of current agriculture. The current environmental situation, with climate change as the main protagonist, among other worrying social issues, such as the rural depopulation, push toward a new resize of agriculture, local and more respectful with the environment and social. Something to which contribute not only European agricultural policies, but also the conscience of a large number of workers in the agricultural sector. In this sense, in Catalonia increases the number of hectares devoted to organic farming, as well as the number of projects relating to it, though it may not be easy for producers and students 'jump' to this type of farming or find structures where form for this purpose.
For two days, will develop the experiences in agro-ecological projects of former students of the Esab, in addition to a day of training on the fertility of the soil until the native plant material. As a CODA, is expected to attract students and alumni not only this, but from other schools, with the celebration of the founding of the agro-ecology of the Esab Group Assembly.
