Beyond the signing ceremony, which will provide the AFCL with financial resources to develop communication tools and organoleptic analyses, this field visit to a goat farm, Ferme de la Richarderie, was an opportunity to meet producers in this dynamic sector. Indeed, the producers have begun the process of applying to the INAO to have their product recognized as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). The meeting provided an opportunity to take stock of the steps taken in this regard.
