These farmers were among the first to commit to the TRANSITIONS programme. They share their motivations and how they have changed their practices. Martin Gosset VIVESCIA Cooperative member in Aisne Benoît Minard Noriap member- farmer, Seine- Maritime, in the process of joining the programme – October 2025 We were already doing certain things on the farm out of conviction, but the programme pushed us further, gave us confidence, and confirmed that the improvements we had already made were going in the right direction.” IN THE FIELD... FARMERS’ VOICES When I started out, my aim — like that of any farmer — was to secure the future of the business. And my capital, my tool, is the soil. If I don’t look after it, my job loses all meaning and has no future. We have rediscovered the value of biodiversity and crop diversity. For me, TRANSITIONS is recognition for the work my father did.” Farmers are being really compensated for their good practices for the first time! And the idea of becoming more virtuous without having to overhaul everything convinced us. We are finally showing consumers that French agriculture cares about the environment.” Romain and Benjamin Scheuer VIVESCIA cooperative farmers in the Ardennes 16
