Marion Enzer is the General Director of Fermes d’Avenir, an association that supports farmers towards more sustainable practices.

« Agriculture is both the main cause and the main victim of crossing planetary boundaries. But ironically, it is also the main solution », emphasizes Marion Enzer. Carbon storage, soil protection, and the return of biodiversity: agroecology allows us to rethink agricultural practices to regenerate life.

Fermes d’Avenir trains the farmers of tomorrow, supports farmers, and backs projects aimed at ecosystem regeneration. However, the cost of change is phenomenal. « They cannot afford to finance the agroecological transition on their own », insists Marion Enzer, who believes this transformation must be collective. « There is a real societal challenge in sharing the cost of transitioning our agriculture. »

This challenge is all the more urgent as one in two farmers is expected to retire by 2030. It is also an opportunity to renew agricultural models.
