PALENCIA, March 24 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Monastery of San Zoilo, in Carrión de los Condes, will host next Tuesday, March 28, the I Campo Palentino Congress, organized by the Palencia Provincial Council, a meeting in which field professionals from the province will discuss the challenges of agriculture in the province.
Palencia is a regional cereal bastion. The province is in the top positions in the ranking of area planted with cereals, not in vain it registered an area of more than 285,000 hectares in the 2021/2022 campaign, in which professionals from the Palencia field produced more than 950,000 tons, which means almost a fifth of the 5 million of the total harvest achieved in the community of Castilla y León.
For this reason, the organizers of this meeting consider that it makes a lot of sense to bet on events of this type that have the countryside and the primary sector as protagonists, and as one of the backbones of the provincial economy, has pointed out Luis Calderón, deputy of the Area of Economic Promotion, Agriculture and Rural Development, who has valued “that essential role” of farmers in the province in regional agriculture.
Likewise, he warns that “the choice of this historic town to hold the meeting is not accidental, due to its strategic location next to the Carrión River and in the heart of Tierra de Campos, one of the largest granaries in Castilla y León and Spain”. .
Regarding the development of the day, the director of the CAMPOCyL publication, Máximo Gómez, explained that the congress will revolve around the future of cereals and will address issues such as innovation, fertilization or plant health of this crop. Also, he will analyze absolutely topical issues such as the CAP or the evolution of the markets.
