AMFAR DAY
“HYDROPONICS: GROWING WITHOUT SOIL”
AMFAR.- The Federation of Women and Families in Rural Areas, with funding from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food , is developing the RURAL WOMEN Program, protagonists of Rural Development, which is part of the line of subsidies to rural women's entities at the national level called by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for the 2025-2026 period, approved by Royal Decree 921/2024, of September 17.
The aim of this activity is to provide rural women with new opportunities for entrepreneurship and innovation related to the agricultural sector. In this case, hydroponics is presented as a modern, sustainable, and efficient cultivation alternative, based on growing plants without soil, using mineral solutions and controlled irrigation systems.
Within the framework of this program, AMFAR is organizing the event: “HYDROPONICS: GROWING WITHOUT SOIL” which will take place next Thursday, April 30, 2026 at the Villa Concepción El Temple venue, Cambre (La Coruña) .
Throughout the day, the main advantages of this cultivation model will be explained, including water conservation, space optimization, reduced use of pesticides, and the possibility of year-round production. Furthermore, practical experiences and examples will be shared demonstrating how hydroponics can become a real business and self-employment opportunity in rural areas.
Rural women are an essential pillar in shaping the territory and combating depopulation. Their entrepreneurial spirit, capacity for innovation, and commitment to their environment are fundamental to ensuring a dynamic, competitive, and sustainable rural landscape.
With this event, AMFAR is committed to the inclusion of women in entrepreneurship, as an essential part of rural development, showcasing success stories and providing ideas for future inclusions.
AMFAR thus reaffirms its commitment to female entrepreneurship as an essential engine for the economic and social growth of rural areas.
