The Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Food, Óscar Ordeig, presided over the day, which brought together forty young farmers from all over Catalonia, at the Cervera Municipal Auditorium on Friday 15 November.
The institutional parliaments at the beginning of the day were held by the father in chief, Jan Pomés; the deputy director general of Rural Planning, Laura Dalmau, and councilor Óscar Ordeig.
Jan Pomés welcomed them to Cervera and Segarra, "the granary of Catalonia", and encouraged the youths to continue their exploits.
Councilor Ordeig stated that "generational succession is an axis of government, because every young person who folds is a failure of society, and every exploitation that does not follow is a problem for the country”.
The meeting was organized by the Department of Agriculture with the aim of the young people sharing their impressions and needs with the Department's technicians, territorial services and regional offices. "We are at your disposal to help you", Councilor Ordeig explained.
In this way, the challenges facing the sector were discussed, as now the excess of bureaucracy, the Common Agricultural Policy (PAC), administrative simplification, the generational relief, the fair price or short circuits, among others.
