St.Gallen: Alpine farmers explore Toggenburg traditions on a hike
Last weekend, representatives of the Alpine Industry Association from the canton of St. Gallen gathered for a joint hike to the Götte company's new alpine cheese dairy. During this tour, the participants gained valuable insights into the peculiarities of the Toggenburg alpine economy. This hike is not only a beautiful view of nature, but also an opportunity to promote exchange between practitioners of alpine farming.
The event shows the importance of alpine farming for the region and the need to combine tradition and innovation. The new alpine cheese dairy represents an important step in further developing the sustainability and quality of the products. The participants experienced first-hand how the most modern techniques can be combined with the traditional methods of alpine farming.
Cultural exchange and learning
In exchange with the experienced alpine farmers, the visitors learned, among other things, the specific challenges and opportunities that the Toggenburg alpine economy brings with it. The Alpine Association plays a central role here by passing on knowledge and best practices and supporting alpine businesses.
As the Alpine Economic Association emphasizes, it is crucial to strengthen the connection between theory and practice. This is achieved not only through such events, but also through comprehensive advisory services for alpine farms that respond to the specific needs of the farms. Those interested can find further information about such advisory services at sg.ch.
In summary, it can be said that the hike was a complete success, not only from a sporting perspective, but also in terms of exchanging knowledge and strengthening the sense of community among alpine farmers in the canton of St. Gallen. The participants and organizers' claim to sustainably promote Toggenburg's alpine economy shows how important dialogue and cooperation are in agriculture.
