OCTOBER 2019
Local Collective Action: Plant a Tree!
October, 2019 (Zagreb-Slieme, Croatia)
Colorful as it is, October in Croatia was pretty “green”. Our members
participated in a Local action for making our planet greener. First, they went
on a workshop where they learned “how to” and afterwards they used their
knowledge! The action was organized by our colleagues from Faculty of
Forestry and it took place at the nearby mountain peak Sljeme. Except for
planting trees, Croatian team did a clean up of our place and recycled what
was to recycle.
Exchange Week in Croatia
Competitiveness and potential of Northen Croatia in Agriculture and Food Industry
October 7 th - 13 th , 2019 (Varaždin, Croatia)
Exchange Week in Croatia held place in the city of Varaždin. *Fun fact:
Varaždin used to be the capital city of Croatia until a huge fire burnt the
city in 1776. The event lasted for 7 days. Our guests were colleagues from
Sardinia, Serbia, Poland and Greece. We gathered in Zagreb on 7th and got
back there on 13th October. During the event we visited our big food
industry companies such as Vindija and Podravka, but also, we tried to
show our participants our local producers such as Pulfer brewery and
Buzdovan ciders, Women’s Association “Trnovečko srce”, Horvatinčić
family farm and many more. Good news is that in future IAAS Croatia
might expand our work and Zagreb will not be our only local committee!
Stay tuned and look in the North direction!
