Created by Mr Karl Grotenfelt in 2013, the Famigro Award aims to reward the best European rural entrepreneurship project of the year.
Entrepreneurial projects contribute to the evolution of our rural countryside, while the respect of the environment and social responsibility is endorsed by each rural entrepreneur.
The aim of the Famigro Award is to improve the project's success and growth by benefiting from the support of the network of the Friends of the Countryside (FCS) and Young Friends of the Countryside (YFCS), as well as the European Landowners' Organization (ELO).
The prize includes: - A 5,000€ check and Diploma of Recognition - Visibility of the project on the written and online channels of FCS, YFCS and ELO. - An article in the Countryside Magazine (more than 4K readers) - The opportunity to join the FCS & YFCS General Assembly in Poznan, Poland in June 2023.
The Bruine Kriekpeer is the ‘Belgian Tree of the Year 2022’
With a remarkable 1565 votes, the Bruine Kriekpeer of Klerken won Belgian Baillet Latour Tree of the Year 2022, followed by the Zomereik of Lanaken with 1159 votes and the Moerascipres of Ename with 1118 votes. The story of the Bruine Kriekpeer is closely linked to the village in which it is located, Klerken. This West Flanders village used to host a perelaarommegang where pears were donated to visitors. Today, there is still a legacy of this custom, as there is a street named: perelaarommegang, after the procession of the same name. Some inhabitants of Klerken would like to revive the tradition and recently took the initiative to organize the procession again. The tree will now receive some €2500 for its care and revival, may bear the title "Belgian Tree of the Year" for one year, and will represent Belgium in the European Tree of the Year competition to be organized in 2023.
