“We have a political year and we must remember this every minute. Alexandre Garcia’s years of experience in political journalism can contribute significantly to the arguments on how to protect agribusiness in this scenario. But the main justification for inviting a journalist is the connection between the village and the city. We have already talked a lot about ourselves to ourselves, it is also an opportunity to listen to those who are outside and to influence a different audience, and not just rural producers,” says Alessandro, President of the Union of Campo Grande Villagers – SRCG. Coelho.

“The idea behind this event is to expand with each edition and make it more democratic so that the countryside and the city can participate and understand what a direct relationship they have. The event, with the theme “The Power of Agro”, will allow participation in person or online, providing the registrant with the opportunity to update themselves in the best possible way, as well as the opportunity to participate in debates, ask questions and make direct contributions, “adds the President.
