First description of our project[modifier | modifier le wikicode]
First description of our project's idea
Helping small farmers to be more competitive and respectful of the environment
1. What Problem do you want to solve ?
We are dedicated to stop the dilution of our farmers into bigger corporations, the rampant destruction of rural ecosystems and the increasing use of intensive production ruining our soils.
According to the INSEE, the French agricultural production increased by 30% between 1980 and 2010. Thanks to that, the French agriculture became the first European agriculture. Today, more than 1.1 million farmers are in activity and cultivate more than 50% of the French territory. However, small French farmers (plot smaller than 5 hectares) show a lack of competitiveness, particularly against larger corporations. This lack of competitiveness causes a lot of repurchases, end of activities and even suicides (500 suicides between 2007 and 2009). When it comes to facts, average size increased from 21 to 55 hectares whereas number of farmers decreased from 1.6 million to 490 thousand. In many places, following the settlement of intensive farming, we can observe the vanishing of small producers and the concentration of productive lands into ever fewer people’s hands.
Furthermore, the protection of the environment is becoming a key issue as we approach the Cop21 meeting. People do realize that they have to reduce the negative impact of their different activities on the environment. Yet, farmers use more and more products with negative impact on the environment, such as insecticide treatment, herbicides, fungicides…
To conclude, two main problems appear: the lack of farmers’ competitiveness which cause a lot of repurchases and suicides, and the negative impact that agriculture could have on the environment. We want to solve both problems helping small French farms to get competitive advantages against larger corporations and to make them more respectful of the environment.
2. Why does this problem exist?
High margins means too often heavy use of pesticides, merging into bigger groups or selling your plot.
The CAP (Common Agricultural Policy), set in the 1960s, has provided a huge protection of the European agriculture to farmers but also created many constraints and farmers have more than ever difficulties to cope with. Theses difficulties destruct the rural ecosystem.
Besides, more and more controls have been set up in order to protect the environment so agricultural practices are more and more regulated.
In the meantime, French agriculture is suffering from different troubles. Indeed, French agriculture is very diversified so it is especially sensitive to raw materials price variation. As a consequence, when there is an increase in raw materials, farmers are facing expensive production costs but market prices don’t increase at the same time. This contributes to accentuate the lack of their competitiveness because even the PAC don’t repay this price difference. Besides, in France, large retailers are very powerful. As a consequence, small french farms suffer from a lack of competitiveness against the low prices that supermarkets offer to customers. This explains the repurchases and suicides. We believe that small exploitations may lack management and performance tools which could help them to get back on the race.
To conclude, two “revolutions” seem to appear in the agricultural world. The first one is the end of the protection of the agricultural market in a world which face an increasing population. To face this change, farmers will have to learn how handle their activity, how elaborate a strategy. The second one is the need to protect the environment. To face this second change, farmers will have to use less products with negative impact on the environment.
3. What breakthrough are you commited to creating?
We are committed to create a solution which allows to reduce repurchases, social discrepancies such as the vanishing of rural ecosystems and to promote a sustainable production. It could be a cheap and efficient solution filling the lack of competitiveness small sized french farmers suffer from. It could be a yield and finance management solution or a training to new producing techniques but we are eager to hear any other idea from experts.
Potential experts already identified
Please mention the potential experts (name, affiliation, likelihood to convince him/her to join the final panel)
- Anouk Martin, Graduate from "School of Agronomy" in Rennes (ENSAR). Likelihood : 8/10. She could help us offering us a deep expertise of the agriculture sector and advise us to a solution realistic and efficient to solve this problem.
- The INRA : we plan to go to the INRA: "Institute Sophia Agrobiotech" in Sophia-Antipolis on order to meet some experts that could help up. Likelihood : 7/10. The institute could be a real help for us giving us its reflexions on this sector and providing us solutions that could be implemented to solve this problem.
