Quel a été le défi/problème abordé?

There was an agroecological collective, hold by different structures, whose aim was to disseminate the agroecological practices of farmers’ groups.

But, dans 2021, the law changed and the activities of selling and advising about phytosanitary product could not be done by a same firm.

Because of that, some structures had to stop advising, and by consequence, stop officially hosting farmers groups.

But the farmers groups still exist and still have some interesting results to share. But because of the law, they could not be call “agroecological collective” and their results cannot be shared under this name. Alors, the question was how can we give them a voice?

Comment as-tu résolu le problème?

All the partners thought about a solution. After different meeting and workshop, they arrived at the creation of a new “certification” in 2022: UNISSON – The voices of agroecology. The aim is to certify dissemination and communication actions in Occitanie
