She studied agricultural engineering (agronomy) and is passionate about farming and the countryside. AgriPilar has built a following on social media, where she shares her farming experiences and educates consumers about agriculture.She sells her pistachios directly to consumers through her online shop, bypassing intermediaries. She is also experimenting with cover crops to improve soil health and prevent water evaporation. Spain has a diverse agricultural landscape, with different regions specializing in forage production, cattle farming, grain production, and tree crops. Spanish agriculture is diverse, with different regions specializing in different crops such as citrus fruits, nuts, and horticulture. Olive production is also significant in the southern part of Spain. The weather conditions, including rainfall and frost, play a crucial role in crop yields. Getting into farming in Spain is challenging, as starting from scratch is nearly impossible without family support or existing farms. The cost of land is high, making it difficult for new farmers to afford their own land. Spanish farmers face challenges such as unfair competition from imported products that do not meet the same requirements, limited access to phytosanitary treatments, and high prices of wholesale products. The farming community is concerned about the loss of family farms and the lack of support from politicians who do not understand the realities of farming. Technology adoption in Spanish agriculture is increasing, with the use of solar panels for energy and anti-freeze systems to protect crops from frost. Farmers are also exploring opportunities in agtech. Spanish farmers rely on traditional sayings and the calendar to guide their farming practices. Pilar is working on a project to establish a small factory to produce sub-products from pistachio production, such as pistachio paste and essential oil. She emphasizes the importance of not being afraid to pursue farming as a dream.Follow her on Insta @AgripilarIf you liked this episode, make sure you're subscribed to not miss and episode and leave us a 5 X tractor review Follow Farms Advice Join the Farmers Only Facebook Group Instagram Twitter TikTok For more like this visit farmsadvice.com.au Follow Jack on Instagram @cressy__ and Twitter @jcressw3 Support the podcast by sponsoring an episode so that we can pass on the #FarmsAdvice Listen to Farm Yarns Podcast Hosted on Acast.
