  THIS YEAR: ENVIRONMENTAL ALTERNATIVES
  Since the beginning of the Acte adventure, we have had an appetite for agricultural subjects. We don’t want to be caricatured. Recent events are a symptom of the upheavals that are coming our way. Our food is a concern for everyone. The territory of Saint-Gilles, the Camargue are very marked by agriculture. It is about giving voice to farmers, to cooperatives in order to listen to problems, solutions, issues. We would like to be a place of exchange. The public can be in touch with each other’s speeches. Make your own idea, create connections, better understand situations.
  The environment is everyone’s business, inventing meeting points seems essential to us.
