The expression of our societal impact
as an organic and sustainable seed producer

As a leading organic seed company in many varieties and sectors of INRAE, we position ourselves as a full stakeholder in the French agricultural sector. Our field expertise, sector knowledge, and 40 years of R&D have enabled us to develop 15 species of legume, cereal, and service plant seeds, mainly in self-pollinating varieties.

Our credibility is not limited to our innovations in seeds. It is also reinforced by our constant commitment to listen to, engage with farmers, and understand their challenges. In this way, we anticipate future needs and guide our research accordingly.
