Clément Regnault VIVESCIA Cooperative member in Marne Taking part in the programme also allows us to share ideas with other farmers nearby whom we didn’t necessarily know. These discussions are extremely constructive. We visit each other’s farms, discover different approaches, different techniques... This way, we go further on our own farms and adapt our practices, with the support of TRANSITIONS experts.” We are already affected by climate change, and it is important to commit to an environmental approach. But I felt that the existing solutions were just specifications to comply with and lacked a little substance. I was looking for something pragmatic, ambitious, with clear objectives and a way to achieve them... That is exactly what the TRANSITIONS programme provides, because it is grounded in agronomic research, precise and robust criteria, and regular support and monitoring.” Gauthier Charles VIVESCIA Cooperative member in Seine-et-Marne I had been part of the Agrosol Club (VIVESCIA) for years, but we were beginning to run into technical roadblocks, such as how to establish a cover crop when there is no rainfall between June and September. TRANSITIONS arrived at just the right time, with a robust agronomic framework and personalised support for implementing solutions.” Mathieu Peschaud VIVESCIA Cooperative member in Haute-Marne 17
