An ambitious and innovative programme, TRANSITIONS is a bridge between farmers and food processing customers, enabling progress on all sides. It also serves as a laboratory for modelling proactive agriculture and more resilient value chains. TRANSITIONS is spreading and developing beyond the borders of VIVESCIA’s cooperative territory. Together, let’s continue writing the TRANSITIONS story!” Christoph Büren President of VIVESCIA Group Joining the TRANSITIONS programme is a natural extension of the supply agreements we already have, with an even stronger ambition: to adapt our cropping systems to the expectations of manufacturers and consumers. It is a structural way to support the broader evolution of our practices, to strengthen the resilience of our farms in the face of climatic, economic, and regulatory uncertainty, and to give tangible compensation to farmers for their efforts.” David Saelens President of Noriap Agricultural cooperatives are very important intermediaries on the ground. We wholeheartedly support the TRANSITIONS programme. The idea is really to get upstream and downstream stakeholders working together to promote the virtuous transfer of value. The State will continue to support this coalition as it develops.” Bruno Bonnell Secretary General for Investment, in charge of the France 2030 plan This is the most significant programme in Europe; it is extremely well designed, and I believe that, through the SAI Platform, we can help facilitate its implementation in other countries.” Hans Jöhr Honorary President of SAI – TRANSITIONS Seminar 2025 VIVESCIA’s initiative addresses many issues that farmers cannot manage on their own. It combines the massive need for support to make the agro-ecological transition a success with a collective, local approach alongside individual actions.” Philippe Mauguin President of INRAE – Paris International Agricultural Show 2025 To design an engaging, collective programme that shares the cost and mitigates risk for all stakeholders is really setting an example. TRANSITIONS is a model that we must adapt to practically every aspect of our society in the Grand Est region.” Franck Leroy President, Grand Est Regional Council PERSPECTIVES 4
