Project presentation
By 2030, a part of France’s agricultural ecosystem will disappear, as half of the country’s farmers will retire without guaranteed succession for their farms or the transfer of their knowledge. People who are not from the agricultural world but wish to become farmers face many challenges—especially women—due to a certain conservatism in the sector that grants little legitimacy to women farm owners. Yet, more and more women are choosing this path and are particularly important in promoting sustainable alternative models that protect the environment.
To address this issue, the association SOL offers support to women from non-agricultural backgrounds in developing their farm establishment projects. These women receive comprehensive training and gain skills in agricultural practices, economic management of their farm, and environmental knowledge.
