The Trophée International de l’Enseignement Agricole (TIEA) was held under the best possible auspices, with three foreign teams taking part in 2024: Canada – already present in 2023, Morocco and Italy. But how does it work, and how can we prepare for 2025 ?
Three countries took part in partnership with a French establishment: LEGTA Kernilien in Guingamp welcomed its Moroccan partner from the Institut Royal des techniciens spécialisés en élevage, LEGTA d’Albi Fonlabour, CEGEP Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu from Quebec in Canada and the Campus agro-viticole de la Charente, the Institut agricole régional du Val d’Aoste in Italy.
A minimum of three foreign establishments is required to constitute the opening of the 5th ‘Foreign establishments’ section. If there are fewer foreign establishments, they compete in the same sections as the French establishments. The events are the same for the foreign teams as for the French participants. The foreign team takes part in the competition with the cow of its French partner.
The TIEA consists of four tests based on an annual theme. The theme for 2024 was « Being a cattle farmer in the future ».
Test 1: Communication
This test comprises two sub-tests:
Making a video and writing a pitch
Animation and decoration of the stall: the candidates had to decorate
and decorate the stall of the adult animal on the theme: « Being a cattle farmer tomorrow ».
Test 2: Handling a bovine animal in complete safety
Test 3: Presentation
Test 4: Grading of students’ behaviour at the show
The school with the highest number of points after the four tests is declared the winner of the TIEA in its section. In the event of a tie, the presentation test, followed by the handling test if necessary, will be used to decide between schools.
The overall winner in 2024 (French team) was Agricampus 40 from Les Landes.
The Valle d’Aosta Agricultural Institute is the winner of the international section.
