The first competition dedicated to New Ruralities
Les Coqs d’Or de la Nouvelle Ruralité (Golden Roosters of New Rurality) is a competition that honors men and women who, through their talent and entrepreneurial spirit, demonstrate that our rural areas are modern and pioneers of innovation. Their initiatives will undoubtedly give rise to a number of solutions to the major societal challenges we face, in areas such as the environment, energy, well-being, and sustainable production.
With the sponsorship of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
The aim of this competition is to reward initiatives, innovations, and outstanding businesses in rural areas in four areas: Environment, Entrepreneurship, Social Cohesion, and Culture.
