Activities continue this Thursday, and on Friday the “I Wild Food Conference” will take place at the UNER Faculty of Food Sciences, within the framework of Environment Week.
With the presence of mayor Francisco Azcué, the 9th edition of the “ECO Ciencias 2025” International Environment Fair was inaugurated, organized by the Undersecretariat of Environment of the Municipality of Concordia, in conjunction with the NGO “Luz del Ibirá”.
Activities are taking place at the Convention Center, continuing this Thursday, June 5, while on Friday, June 6, the “I Wild Food Conference” will be held at the UNER Faculty of Food Sciences, within the framework of Environment Week.
Azcué maintained that the fair brings prestige to the city, as perspectives and projects on transcendent issues centered on the environment are exhibited and exchanged there.
In that sense, “I want to highlight the participation of the private sector, companies, and intermediate institutions. We want companies to do well, but their development must be respectful of the environment. That is where the municipal State participates in a virtuous circle of joint work with these actors.”
Likewise, he valued the central participation of schools, residents, and civil society. “We all have to participate and commit ourselves to the care of our environment,” affirmed Azcué.
Meanwhile, the Undersecretary of Environment Constanza Montoreano highlighted that “the proposal this year was that the projects could be applied in the community. It is important for the children to feel the satisfaction that their project can be used.”
This edition was declared of Educational Interest by the Departmental Directorate of Schools and, in turn, received a declaration of Interest from the Deliberative Council of our city.
Present were vice-mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza; the Undersecretary of Culture and Education Carlos Gatto; the Departmental Director of Schools Julio Barrios; councilwomen Claudia Villalba and Verónica Del Boca; members of “Luz del Ibirá”; local and international educational establishments, intermediate associations, and the general public.
