Main objective:

AFOCG means collective training for better global management. Thirteen local associations belong to the network. By accompanying with adapted methodology, “AFOCG" aims at helping any farmer to fulfill its own project on his farm according to his or her value, to his or her goal in life and also according to the material conditions of the farm (crops, animals, trading, superficies…).
The main action of the "AFOCG" is to organize collective training on any subject that can help farmers to manage their project. Joining one of our local associations means to commit in following collective training.
