The House of Agroecology is pleased to invite you to the 2023 edition of the Libramont Fair. This year, we are organizing the Agroecology Village, alongside the Public Service of Wallonia, the CRA-W and the network of farmers in agroecological transition, Terraé.
Agroecology, a path for a food transition
The House of Agroecology is a collective approach to environmental, social and economic progress, imagined by three co-founders in 2021 and a team that continues to grow. Our mission being to accelerate the agroecological transition in Belgium, we act systemically to develop this path of collaborative progress, with the greatest number of Belgian actors upstream and downstream of the agricultural and food sectors.
On this occasion, come and meet us and our first members at our stand in the Agroecology Village to immerse yourself in the search for concrete solutions for the revaluation of the agricultural and food world. This project aims to develop different levers of operational action between all stakeholders, which will make it possible to succeed together in this agroecological transition and feed people healthily, preserve biodiversity, while fighting against climate change.
Meet at stand 35.01 from Friday July 28 until Monday July 31.
Who are we addressing?
Farmers, agri-food companies (storers, processors, distributors, restaurateurs), experts and citizens.
