30 March 2018

Partners of the Pilot Farm "Gaec du Crocomby" present their system and their strengths to build and drive a more socio-economic resilient system. They work on several things these last years, to take advantage of their environment, through technical mastery and a collective workforce.

The key messages of this case study are:

To adapt your system to the constraints of your environment
To reduce costs of production with grazing and manures produced on-farm
To invest gradually
To take part in the territory strength and to go-ahead with collective projects: grouped purchases for the food and the material (Cuma co-operative), collective biogas plant.
