The FARM Foundation celebrates 20 years of commitment to sustainable agriculture
Recognised as a public utility 20 years ago, the FARM Foundation, supported by Crédit Agricole, celebrated this anniversary on 14 April in Paris, in the presence of around one hundred guests. Its founding members, institutional partners, research partners, operational partners and representatives of producer organisations were represented.

At the event, Pascal Lheureux, President of FARM and Chairman of the Normandie Seine Regional Bank, warmly thanked Crédit Agricole S.A., a founding member and loyal supporter of the Foundation for the past 20 years, as well as the nine entities and the 39 Regional Banks that sponsor it.

This festive evening was also an opportunity to look back at two decades of cooperation and innovation in the service of sustainable, efficient and inclusive agriculture and industry. The “Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change” and the “Guiana Shield” projects, notably co-constructed with the Regional Banks, were mentioned.

The outlook for the coming years was then shared. In a world under strain, the tools, studies and productions of a think tank such as FARM remain an essential way to keep decision-makers up to date on the topic of sustainable agriculture and the economic and social trajectories of countries all over the world.
