CIHEAM Montpellier strengthens its relationship with Lebanon and will soon have an office in Beirut

Posted on February 13, 2024

The Director of CIHEAM Montpellier warmly thanks the Minister of Agriculture, Abbas Hajj Hassan, whom he has already received on two occasions in Montpellier, for the support given to his request and, beyond that, for the mutual efforts made by the CIHEAM and Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture teams to develop cooperation in training, research and development cooperation.

It was thanks to the Minister, to whom CIHEAM Montpellier had applied to open an office in Beirut, that the Council of Ministers meeting on Saturday 10 February officially approved the application.

This is the first office that CIHEAM Montpellier has opened in one of the CIHEAM member countries, and as welcomed by the Council of Ministers, it reflects the growing cooperation between CIHEAM and the Lebanese State.

CIHEAM Montpellier has been developing its relations with Lebanon for some fifteen years: a major partnership with the Lebanese University of Beirut as part of the IDTE Master2 program and now DATEM; coordination of cooperation projects (HASAD and now SUPMED) which have led to the development of a very strong relationship with the Ministry of Agriculture. New projects are currently being prepared, which will further strengthen the partnership and justify the opening of an office in Beirut.

Shared Success: Retrospective of the Turkish delegation’s visit to Toulouse

Posted on January 23, 2024

The participants came from 12 different Turkish provinces.

CIHEAM Montpellier was asked by the WomenCoop European project team to organize the program for this study tour, which followed similar visits to Italy, Spain and Portugal.

Running from December 12 to 17, 2023, their stay began with a visit to the Coopérative du Haricot Tarbais, followed by a varied program including Terra Alter Gascogne, Ethiquable, l’Union régionale des SCOP et SCIC Occitanie, Bien Commun, Coop’Action, Symbiosphère, Les Halles de la Cartoucherie and DivertCity. These visits provided an insight into the French cooperative model in terms of its structuring, operation, and values, an appreciation of the creativity and commitment of its players, and a chance to discover the diversity of existing initiatives. The whole experience created a genuine platform for learning and fruitful exchange for all concerned.

CIHEAM-Montpellier would like to thank all the participants and partners who contributed to the organization of this visit, including La Coopération Agricole Occitanie, la Fédération Régionale des Coopératives d’Utilisation de Matériel Agricole Occitanie,  la Coopérative “Les fermes de Figeac” and of course all the structures that welcomed them. Their commitment and availability, despite a busy end-of-year schedule, was an essential factor in the success of this stay.
