When Agriculture Becomes a Story You Can Walk Into

At InConventus, we believe that the best way to learn agriculture is not only from books, but from the land itself. Fields, farms, people, and history all tell a story. This is exactly what students from Lycée La Salle Reims Thilloisexperienced during their educational agricultural tour to Poland.

This study tour was carefully designed to combine modern Polish agriculture, hands-on farm visits, agricultural education, and cultural discovery. It is a perfect example of how InConventus organizes custom agricultural tours in Poland for schools, universities, and professional groups.

Let us take you on this journey.

Day 1 – Learning Where Polish Agriculture Began

The adventure started just outside Kraków, where the group visited one of the oldest agricultural schools in Poland.

A School with Over 160 Years of Farming Tradition

At the Franciszek Stefczyk Agricultural Education Centre in Czernichów, students stepped into history. Founded in 1860, this school has trained generations of farmers, estate managers, and agricultural professionals. It survived wars, political changes, and time itself.

Walking through the campus, students learned how education evolved from traditional farming to modern vocational training. Today, the school teaches:

• Agriculture
• Veterinary science
• Horse breeding
• Hotel management
• General education with strong geography and English programs

This visit showed how agricultural education in Poland blends tradition with innovation.

From Classrooms to Fields

In the afternoon, the group visited an experimental agricultural farm linked to the University of Agriculture in Kraków. Spread over 212 hectares, this farm is where science meets practice.

Students saw:

• Precision agriculture in action
• Crop variety trials (wheat, maize, rapeseed)
• Soil and yield mapping
• Modern farm machinery
• Fruit orchards and even a teaching vineyard

This visit helped students understand how research supports real farming decisions.

The day ended in Kraków, with free time to explore the city.

Day 2 – History, Reflection, and Fruit Production

Remembering History at Auschwitz-Birkenau

In the morning, the group visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum. This powerful experience reminded everyone that education is also about memory, responsibility, and respect. It was a quiet and meaningful moment of reflection during the tour.

From Memory to Modern Farming

In the afternoon, the group visited a 45-hectare fruit farm, producing apples, pears, plums, cherries, peaches, and blueberries. Students learned about:

• Orchard management
• Fruit varieties
• Seasonal work
• Farm organization
• The day ended with a guided city tour of Kraków, where medieval streets, royal castles, and university traditions brought Polish culture to life.

Day 3 – From Kraków to Warsaw: Two Cities, One Story

Traveling by train to Warsaw allowed students to experience everyday Polish transport and geography.

In Warsaw, the group explored:

Family Crop Farm – Precision and Passion

At a family-run crop farm, students saw:

• Over 40 years of corn cultivation
• Precision farming and no-till agriculture
• Experimental plots and public harvest demonstrations
• Strong cooperation with universities and research institutes

This visit showed how family farms can lead innovation.

Fruit Cooperative – From Orchard to Market

The day ended at a fruit cooperative producing around 14,000 tons of apples per year. Students learned about:

• Integrated fruit production
• Environmental protection
• Modern cold storage
• Cooperative business models
