On April 9, an event took place at Les Cabrols that we won't forget. In theory, it was the umpteenth inter-promo evening for farmers supported since 2019, but in reality, around various workshops, a lot of things happened that evening. A number of questions had to be addressed : what essential tasks should be carried out by the collective ? What synergy should be created between Envol Vert and the new association ? How could the collective's energy be maintained over the long term ?
Over the course of the evening, farmers rotated through the various workshops to share their thoughts and ideas, and concretely build the structure that would support the GIEE (Groupe d'Intérêt Economique et Environnemental) applications currently being prepared. The conclusion ? "Les Noyaux" collective has become the P.I.A.F association, for Partage d'Initiative AgroForestière, with a committee made up of 6 farmers and a driving force of over forty farms present that evening.
The projects are numerous, rich and varied.
The evening continued with a delicious meal carefully prepared by the association "La Maison du Refuge" enough to fuel all those brains in action.
What's next ?
Now that the association is up and running, the GIEE applications have been submitted, the farmers in the network will be able to get organized and bring the group to life across the Tarn and neighbouring regions. The next federating event will be open to the general public the FAGOT festival (link to articles on previous editions), to be held on three different farms in September and October. Get ready, we've still got some great things in store for you !
