The international young farmer's summit was hosted in Bordeaux, France from the 4th to the 6th of September,2014.
AgroNet Fiji was given an opportunity by to attend and was the only Pacific network represented.
I hadn't traveled to Europe and this was my first. The long hours which totaling a flying time of 28 hours was hectic with swollen feet giving evidence.
Apart from the hassle of travel and thus language in France, many lessons have been learned from other young farmer's network around the world. There were a total of 60 countries represented. Being the only Pacific country at the meet it was an opportunity to highlight challenges we face in our little island nations.
Great to have networking with farmer's groups whom some have existed over 50 yrs.
