Farms differ according to their location, and from this reality came the exchange between farms, in which students or farmers spend time on another farm in order to learn our technologies, new management practices and techniques. In this process, the benefit for everyone involved is guaranteed.
Agriculture is an age-old practice, and each country and region has its own way of cultivating and harvesting, and also its own way of raising its animals. Because of these differences, the number of people taking part in this kind of exchange has grown significantly. The climatic, technological and financial conditions of countries and regions differ, which allows exchange participants to learn to deal with other variables they are not used to, as well as to specialize in the variables they already know.
