Last week, 18 – 22 March, Agrocampus Perigord organized the “WEEK OF AGROECOLOGY AND SUSTAINABLE FOOD” event. A lot of activities were planned to raise the awareness of students on these important topics.

Our students organized a visit to the school farm for young primary school pupils.

During this week students played a role game to understand the different usage conflicts of water : agriculture, drinkable water, tourism, fishing, nature protection, etc.

Also, other students played a card game called ‘Agrochallenge’ to understand the problems and challenges agriculture is facing and what can be the solutions. What is more, a group of students visited the dairy farms that supply our canteen with yogurts : “le petit gaillard” and” Brebis Delices”

As an interesting addition, Agrocampus Perigord is hosting two Indian students, who are coming from University of Pantnagar, for 1 month. They are studying PHD in agriculture and they come here to discover French Agriculture with the DEFIAA program.
