Our mission is to help develop the adoption of agricultural, commercial and investment practices that allow us to move towards "living soils", and more broadly towards regenerative agriculture. Together, with farmers involved, we are accelerating the adoption of more virtuous practices and business models that support them, to offer citizen consumers local agricultural productions, healthier and truly resilient to farmers and the environment.
The success of such a company is based on an unprecedented collaborative approach of all those who make the value chain from the field to the fork: the farmer, the agro-industrial company, the distributor through the scientist, the public decision-maker, the shareholder and the agronomist... Sols Vivants brings together these actors in the territories they live in and/or in which they operate, to look at the subject of soils in a pragmatic and realistic way.
We thus create tools and solutions to support farmers, measure the transition and financially encourage it.
