Our vision: organic seed company also invested in agroecology
The choice we make for the future of our agriculture
In the face of demographic growth that demands a substantial increase in food production, Agri Obtentions, as an organic seed producer and agroecology advocate, is committed to optimizing the use of water, an increasingly limited resource. Climate changes threatening yield consistency make the search for resilient varieties and agronomic innovation more vital than ever. As an organic seed producer committed to agroecology, we place ourselves at the heart of current production issues and societal expectations regarding the quality, traceability, and sustainability of agricultural production. These ever-changing constraints push us to constantly review, improve, and optimize our production methods. In this constantly evolving context, Agri Obtentions chooses to adopt a proactive rather than reactive stance. Our goal, to develop as an organic seed producer and invest in agroecology, is to meet the current demands of distributors and farmers to anticipate future needs. We rely on quantitative data to inform our sustainable development strategies.
“We aim to strengthen our resilience while preserving our most precious tool: the land.”
The teams at Agri Obtentions, a leading organic and agroecological seed company, are firmly convinced that “genetic progress” is a major player in the development of agroecology and “varietal innovation,” in addition to being a necessity to meet ecological challenges. We are constantly seeking cutting-edge solutions, as evidenced by our varieties resistant to water stress and our ongoing investment in precision agriculture. Our entire R&D reflects our commitment as an organic, agroecological, and innovative seed company. Led by the Research Directorate, innovation at Agri Obtentions, recognized as an organic and agroecological seed company, is realized through programs that directly integrate market needs. Our major objectives aim to provide high-performing, quality varieties with good resistance to bio-aggressors, aligned with the principles of organic agriculture, to meet the demanding expectations of organic sectors.
Authenticity
Agri Obtentions, as an organic seed company, prioritizes a transparent and concrete approach. We work closely with agricultural distributors, understand their needs for organic production, and tailor our seed solutions accordingly. Our commitment is based on the desire to make agroecology a standard, and the well-being of the communities we support through our organic seeds and your vision of agroecology.
Aware that the development of organic and agroecological seeds is a collaboration, our expertise grows thanks to a network of seed-growing farmers committed to organic and/or agroecology, as well as close partnerships with several seed companies. Our partners are determined to strengthen the sustainability of agriculture.
Our mission is to bring together innovative solutions for agriculture that respects ecosystems and is beneficial for future generations.
Resilience
For over 40 years, as an expert seed producer in agroecology and organic seeds, our company has navigated the many changes in the agricultural sector, from economic fluctuations to ecological challenges. Our longevity is a testament to our ability to adapt and overcome obstacles while remaining true to our organic principles.
Just like the robust varieties we develop, the company itself is a model of resilience in the field of agroecological and organic seeds. Our successful collaborations with local farmers over the decades have strengthened our determination as an organic seed producer and our investment in agroecology.
Today, we design seeds capable of thriving in increasingly adverse conditions. Our history is our best proof of commitment to sustainability and resilience, always through the lens of organic farming.
Nos engagements
La production des semences chez Agri Obtentions répond à 3 objectifs majeurs :
La quantité
Notre but premier consiste à augmenter les volumes des premières générations des semences de base pour permettre une offre suffisante et ainsi diffuser rapidement le progrès génétique des nouvelles variétés.
La qualité
Elle est définie par la pureté (gage de sécurité dans l’assurance d’une semence conforme à la variété créée) et la faculté germinative (autre élément déterminant pour assurer la production chez l’agriculteur).
La traçabilité
Élément clé dans le transfert du progrès génétique, le suivi continu à chaque étape est assuré pour toutes les générations de la création variétale à la semence certifiée fournie à l’agriculteur.
By combining proven research methods with a deep understanding of the market, Agri Obtentions is committed to producing organic and agroecologically viable seeds that meet current agricultural needs (notably by establishing itself as an organic seed producer) while anticipating the challenges of tomorrow.
