PAIPPA celebrates 30 years of agricultural assistance in Formosa

The Integral Assistance Program for Small Agricultural Producers (PAIPPA) is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a commemorative event in Formosa. Andrea Florentín, dean of the Faculty of Sustainable Development at the Universidad Provincial de Laguna Blanca (UPLaB), highlighted the significant impact the program has had on regional education and social mobility.

Florentín noted that more than half of the students at UPLaB are children of PAIPPA beneficiaries, and over 90% are the first generation of professionals in their families. She attributed this success to the strategic location of the university in Laguna Blanca, which allows students to study near their families and apply their knowledge directly to their local territories upon graduation.

As part of the anniversary activities, UPLaB will host a stand to present its academic offerings, including Agricultural Production Engineering, showcasing the synergy between the university and the agricultural program.
