SEEDS ARE PART OF OUR HERITAGE, WE WANT TO PASS IT ON. TO BE POSSIBLE, CYCLE EN TERRE MUST WORK IN SOLIDARITY WITH OTHER ACTORS: FARMERS, MARKET GARDENERS, GARDENERS, RETAILERS, LEGISLATORS, AND SEED COMPANIES. THESE INTERACTIONS REMAIN A PRIORITY AT THE HEART OF OUR BUSINESS.
Who are we?
We are 228 cooperators, 9 employees, 4 administrators, 7 seed multiplier market gardeners, 180 reseller stores united by the conviction that seeds are an essential element in the agricultural system.
What do we do?
We contribute to our food self-sufficiency by growing vegetables to harvest seeds.
How ?
By cultivating organically and locally free and reproducible varieties (non-F1 hybrids)
By preparing a work of selection of varieties adapted to our regions.
By finding knowledge and tools and sharing them.
By participating in networks of actors sensitive to the same subjects.
Our mode of operation within the cooperative allows us to feel supported by a team, to distribute responsibilities and to believe in the possibility of achieving our objectives.
For what?
Because we love soil, vegetables and handling seeds.
Because we believe that it is essential to be able to count on local resources, first and foremost for the seeds that are the basis of our diet.
Because we work for a goal that makes sense to us.
