Teguise Organizes a Visit to FEAGA: Bridging the Gap Between Citizens and the Primary Sector
The Ayuntamiento of Teguise is taking significant steps to connect the community with the primary sector through an organized trip to the esteemed Feria de Agricultura, Ganadería y Pesca de Fuerteventura (FEAGA). Scheduled for April 16-19 at the Granja Experimental de Pozo Negro in Fuerteventura, this event is crucial for acknowledging and promoting agricultural, livestock, and fishing initiatives in the Canary Islands.
A Day to Remember at FEAGA
On Saturday, April 18, participants will embark on their journey at 07:30 from the Ayuntamiento of Teguise, returning via boat at 19:00. This carefully planned day opens the doors to a range of engaging activities, exhibitions, and demonstrations all centered around the vital primary sector. Attendees will have the chance to witness firsthand the hard work of farmers, ranchers, and fishermen, gaining a deeper understanding of the processes that sustain local communities.
Commitment to the Primary Sector
Emphasizing the significance of FEAGA, Olivia Duque, the Mayor of Teguise, stated, “FEAGA is an essential event for understanding the efforts of our farmers, livestock breeders, and fishermen—an industry that is critical to our identity and the future of our islands.” Her remarks highlight the fair’s role in not just showcasing local produce, but also in fostering appreciation for those who work tirelessly behind the scenes.
Myriam Jorge, the Councilor for Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries, added that this initiative gives citizens access to an event that is a benchmark for the Canary Islands, enhancing community ties to vital sectors of the economy. The excursion serves as an opportunity for residents to actively engage with agriculture, livestock, and fishing, thus strengthening their connection to these foundational industries.
