Inciter les élus locaux à soutenir l'Agriculture Biologique à l'aide de diagnostics de durabilité mettant en valeur ses externalités

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Against a backdrop of pesticide contamination of the drinking water supply in Saffré (Loire-Atlantique) and declining demand for organic products nationwide, nine organic dairy farmers have formed an Economic and Environmental Interest Group (GIEE) to promote the benefits of their practices in preserving water resources. Their level of sustainability was assessed using the IDEA4 method to report on their individual performance (agroecological, socio-territorial and economic) and to compare the group with similar farms. The article also highlights how these results have been used to inform local elected officials, raising their awareness of the benefits of organic farming in protecting water resources from pesticide contamination.
