Nebraska University Agriculture and Culture
Study Tour 2019
Catalonia, Spain/Provence & Burgundy, France
We have had the chance to welcome 15 students from Nebraska-Lincoln University, and Rosalee S., Director/Program & Recruitment Agricultural Economics professor and Jonathan R., academic advisor. We have travelled to Catalonia in Spain, Provence and Burgundy in France for a great 14 day Study Tour. We stayed a few days in Barcelona, with some chocolate and tapas tastings as well as art and architecture tours. Then near Girona we have done more agriculture related activities such as IRTA Food Science Center or an olive oil producer. A very successful visit was a dairy farm were we could taste the cows milk with some Catalan cake, and feed some animals. We also enjoyed a cooking class with a fisherman/chef and we were lucky to enjoy a lovely Costa Brava beach.
Then we spent one day in Provence for a truffle hunting and tasting.
Our last three days were spent in Burgundy, visiting ISARA Agriculture and Innovation/Agribusiness Center of Lyon, a Charolaise experimental cattle farm, a bakery with croissant tasting freshly done, we tried culinary specialties of Burgundy and of course a few fermentation tours.
The students spent their last three days in Paris visiting all the major sights staying in the heart of Paris.
