Belgian farmers and horticulturists visited our University

On June 7, Uman National University of Horticulture visited a group of farmers and horticulturists from Belgian Association Groene Kring (‘the Green Circle’). It is the Flemish young farmers’ organization. There are about 4000 members. They are young people aged between 16 and 35 years, who are interested in agriculture and horticulture. Their visit to Ukraine was organized by the Dutch company "Rosetta Holland" with the support of the Department of Fruitgrowing and Viticulture.


 

 

The pro-rector Ivan Mostovyak welcomed the guests and told them about the development and achievements of Uman National University of Horticulture.

  

  

The visitors spoke about Groene Kring and its activities in Belgium. The association encourages young people to work in agriculture and defends the interests of young and future farmers and horticulturists at various policy-making levels.
