Congratulations! Great initiative from the Siro Group

Today we want to use our blog, usually dedicated to the world of Iberian pigs, to express our sincerest congratulations to our friends at Grupo Siro for an initiative they have launched, through their Foundation, to promote research in the agri-food sector, specifically on cereal production. This is the First Grupo Siro Foundation Award for Agri-food Research , whose objective "is to recognize and encourage work in this field, distinguishing and supporting the dissemination of those outstanding works for their innovation and application," as explained by the group's representatives. Grupo Siro award copy Jamones Aljomar maintains a close friendship with the Siro Group and its founders, and, like us, they belong to the Family Business Association of Castile and León . We believe that initiatives like theirs are of great value to the agri-food community, contributing to the sector's progress and sustainability, its growth, and its increased value within the national economy. We fully share their work philosophy and therefore wish to congratulate them and help promote the call for proposals. In this first edition, the Prize will include a cash award of €15,000 and a runner-up prize of €5,000 for specific projects from Castile and León. (Click the following link to access the competition rules: http://www.gruposiro.com/compania/fundacion-grupo-siro ). The deadline for submitting entries is April 30, 2015 . This award is open to individuals and public or private institutions that work in "the innovation and technological application of agricultural developments aimed at cereal production and, preferably, at the development of the wheat value chain." Works intended for other cereals or agricultural techniques that, due to their indirect contribution to this value chain, have a beneficial effect on wheat cultivation may also be submitted.
