This guidance is essential for understanding the challenges and progressing on the indicators that make up the technical framework. It follows a dedicated, multi-year pathway led by agronomists and experts. It is not academic but grounded in experience, exchange, and cross-disciplinary learning through field trips, workshops, and day-to- day discussions with the farmer’s technician. 138 COLLECTIVE TRAINING SESSIONS ORGANISED BY VIVESCIA OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS CUSTOMISED ACTION PLANS Each farmer develops a three-year action plan, updated annually with the help of their dedicated technician. These plans identify the farm’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, constraints, and potential solutions, as well as simulating and assessing outcomes. The aim is to help the farm progress across the various axes and improve its results relative to the agronomic framework’s indicators. 419 INDIVIDUAL VIVESCIA ACTION PLANS AS OF 30 JUNE 2025 Beyond classroom sessions, we spend as much time as possible in the field, with visits to check on cover crop trials and a soil-profile rally that takes place across the Cooperative’s entire territory. These meetings in the field are highly valued by farmers because they are extremely practical and foster peer-to-peer exchange.” Armand Gandon Head of Upstream Agriculture, TRANSITIONS 95 % OF VIVESCIA FARMERS SIGNED UP FOR THE PROGRAMME HAVE COMPLETED AN AGRIBEST¹ BIODIVERSITY DIAGNOSTIC 1.
