WELCOME TO THE FOUNDATION
The massive industrialization of agriculture has led to the paradox that most farmers, subjected to intensive farming, no longer feed their fellow citizens. The race for productivity, for export, and for the lowest prices, has resulted in the destruction of food-producing agriculture in many countries.
Can we accept that our children and grandchildren have neither the quality nor the diversity of food that we have today ?
Like so many endangered animal species, thousands of varieties of fruits, vegetables and fish are progressively being erased from our food map. We cannot resign ourselves to eating this limited menu, offering only an abundance of standardised and tasteless products, to the detriment of our health.
Agriculture, environment, health, economy, culture, education and tourism: all pillars of our contemporary society are impacted by this food peril. To fight against these growing threats, access to « good food » must not be a privilege but an absolute right, independent of any notion of income. No citizen should be excluded from this right for economic, social or cultural reasons.
Our Foundation brings together under one roof several projects that achieve these objectives. Welcome to the world of food biodiversity that we want to preserve. Eating is an agricultural act !
