On the occasion of the Alimenterre festival on sustainable and inclusive food, organized for the first time in Espalion, four events are offered to the population.
The objective is to offer, every Sunday afternoon in November, a highlight to learn about and understand current agricultural and food issues, with a farm visit or a workshop and the screening of a documentary film at the Rex cinema, followed by an exchange with a professional related to the theme covered.

At 6:30 p.m., film debate: “Peasant kindness”, in the presence of director Oliver Dickinson. At a time when so many ills are attributed to livestock farming, what if the farm animal were instead a precious auxiliary in these times of essential transition?

The Fenadou farm will welcome participants for a visit on November 17.
