In Tíjola, talking about the land means talking about water, and that shared history can now be explored out on the street. The Plaza de la Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Socorro is hosting a temporary exhibition on the evolution of farming and water management in the municipality, which can be visited until mid-November, as reported by the local news outlet Tíjola Digital.
The display is made up of large-format panels, one metre wide by two metres high, with photographs taken entirely within the municipal area. Through them, it looks back at the relationship between water, farming and the everyday life of local people, with the fountains and the spaces linked to the use of water.
From the past to technology
The exhibition is part of Tíjola Rural Tech 2030 and does not stop at looking back. The initiative has been complemented by a practical session on technological innovation in the farming and livestock sector, run by the agency Acolor, at which those attending watched a live demonstration of a four-legged robot for use in agriculture.
Also presented was vision software intended for managing olive cultivation and designed for small farmers. The explanations were given by Carlos Martínez, an IT technician specialising in agricultural software, and José Javier Martínez López, director of operations at the Almería-based company Coderty.
After all, in a town in the Alto Almanzora (Upper Almanzora) such as Tíjola, looking at where its farming comes from helps to understand the landscape around it, and bringing these tools within reach of those who work small farms is one way of making sure that farming remains an option for the future in rural Almería.
