CONFAGRI’s headquarters in Lisbon opened its doors yesterday to dozens of students from the Fernando Barros Leal Agricultural Vocational School (EPAFBL) for a visit that demonstrated how agricultural #cooperatives are dynamic, modern organizations full of opportunities for the new generations.

With curiosity and high spirits, the students dove into the CONFAGRI Universe and its various areas of activity, having been invited to participate in several interactive sessions regarding Land Parcel Identification, Support for Young Farmers, and Digital Agriculture.

The visit concluded with a small tasting session, where we addressed the importance of the Mediterranean Diet and the value of the work done by agricultural cooperatives, which is present in the many flavors that are part of our daily lives.

We would like to thank the Torres Vedras City Council, #EPAFBL, and its students for this incredible morning and reiterate that they will always be welcome at our Confederation: see you soon!
