The Paris International Agricultural Show has decided to honor women and men who have given their time, energy, initiatives, or ideas to the show in particular and to agriculture in general. This initiative highlights that France's foremost agricultural show is a large family, where each member, at their level, is essential. The medal of the Paris International Agricultural Show is a token of gratitude for those who simply make things happen.
