Earlier today top-ranking Consell de Formentera official Alejandra Ferrer and Jaume Escandell, president of the Formentera Farmers’ Co-op (Cooperativa del Camp), signed a €130,000 deal to support the public programme to enliven hometown agriculture and visually enhance scenic and rural swaths of the island. Primary sector chief Josep Marí and Co-op manager Carlos Marí were also present at the event.
The aid is meant to help reinvigorate agricultural activity locally and deliver the economic, social, cultural and environmental benefits that go with it. Other Co-op efforts include recouping land donated to the Farmland Reserve (Cens de Terres), piloting improvements on the Can Marroig estate and taking the lead on other core Co-op priorities.
