The first large-scale programme of its kind in Europe TRANSITIONS is a model of cooperation and collective progress. Innovative both in terms of its agronomic and economic approach, it offers comprehensive support at the level of the whole farm. The objective is, by 2026, to help some 1,000 farmers from the north-east of France to transition to regenerative, low-carbon agriculture that promotes soil health and biodiversity. Because no single stakeholder can bear the risks alone, VIVESCIA has united cooperative farmers from its territory, its customers, and the companies of VIVESCIA Industries, as well as many institutional and technical partners. This collective – this committed coalition – shares the same ambition: to shift practices towards regenerative agriculture that is good for the planet, mitigates climate change and promotes biodiversity. TRANSITIONS is concrete 4 FUNDAMENTAL PILLARS A robust and systemic agronomic foundation that concerns the entire farm 4 indicators are monitored over a three-year period: Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, soil health, carbon storage in the soil, and biodiversity/environmental accreditation. Significant financial support for the farmers involved Support based on results and progress: on average €100 per hectare per year for level I (start) and €150 for level II (performance) depending on the crops concerned: this premium per tonne of grain exceeds the additional costs of the agronomic measures taken. Increased customised support: a key to the project’s success 40 VIVESCIA TRANSITIONS ambassadors, 9 half-days per year to help farmers make the best choices for their farm (collective and individual training). Robust data and digitalisation: the cornerstone of the programme ANNUAL CUSTOMER REPORTS Improving farming practices FOR 3 YEARS VIVESCIA DATABASE Maximising crop value
