In June, a visionary farmer practicing Conservative Organic Agriculture hosted an open field day known as the Rallye Bio Meuse. This longstanding event brought together a mix of technical experts and curious citizens, offering a window into the farmer's production systems, agronomic practices, and decision-making strategies that aim for a truly sustainable future.
Collaborative research in action
The ARVALIS team from Saint-Hilaire-en-Woëvre was present to showcase the work they do jointly with the farmer, especially the SIMONE project in which the farmer is one of the pioneer farmers conducting On-Farm Experiments to drive the agroecological transition in the region.
Célia Lefebvre presented the cropping system and decision-making process of the farmer, who aims to achieve optimal economic, environmental, and social performance.
Soil health and regional stewardship
Les Décompacté·e·s de l'ABC, with Quentin Sengers, introduced the importance of healthy soil and the benefits of Conservative Organic Farming.
Other booths held by the Centre Permanent d’Initiatives pour l’Environnement (CPIE) de Meuse and Bio en Grand Est presented the specificities of the regional environment and hedgerows.
