MOURIES 2006
21 and July 22, 2006, @gricolae, 1st Summer school of agriculture with Mouriès
The various manufacturing sectors (breeding, arboriculture, hay of Crau, truck farming ) conscious of the similarity of their difficulties of adaptation of their productions to the new constraints of marketing, joined Mouriès where @gricolae was held, first summer school of agriculture.
In a convivial climate, experts, farmers and heads of undertakings shared their experiments, gives a progress report on the legislations and the new appropriatenesses market.
The farmers do not want to be left for account of universalization and wish to exploit opportunity that constitute the biocarburants and short circuits of distribution.
This meeting consolidates all those which regard universalization as an opportunity, a chance for each one and in particular for all the farmers who will be able to seize it.
Marie-Pierre Callet, President de Bovin 13, Philippe Banon, agricultural expert and Colette Faravel de Calliope convergence had received the support of the General advice of the Rhone delta, of the Town of Mouriès, Banque Populaire Provençale and Corsica, of Groupama, the Euro Information Centers, the CGPME13, the Agricultural credit the Alps Provence, software firm EXILAB, the Exchanger Marseilles Provence, the room
of agriculture of the Rhone delta and agricultural cooperative of Fontvieille.
The quality of the speakers, the participants and the organization contributed so that this demonstration is a real success.
@gricolae had invited Andre-Yves Portnoff, director of the Revolution of the Intelligence and prospectivist at FUTURIBLES. It defended the choice of the innovation like key of agricultural competitiveness. It showed that the innovation often took part of ideas of the past, that the companies live, develops and can die if they pass beside the innovating developments. For example, Kodak, passed beside the numerical one, is today in great difficulty. It underlined
importance for the actors of the territory to renew their trades by the innovation by exploiting the appropriatenesses of numerical and Internet. From its point of view, it is crucial that the territory has broadband connections and can thus not be excluded from the largest window of the world. Force for him and the members of
present was to note that the digital divide was not virtual but a daily reality to which were confronted certain inhabitants of the Rhone delta, moved away only 50 km of the Marseilles capital. High banc of
quality did not yet reach the farms and maintains in the numerical insulation of the millers inhabitants and tourists. Mentalities already evolved/moved but the technological achievements are cruelly lacking and penalizes a little more each farmer. A call is launched to the politicians so that the commitments entered into by the operators are honoured.
The field of the biocarburants is a subject which was tackled thoroughly. He are regarded as essential per many farmers, because while enabling them to contribute their shares to energy independence, he would make it possible to reduce the emissions
of CO ², the landscapes would be preserved and a complementary income could be thus generated.
Europe, thanks to Blandine Pellistrandi, chief of the representation of the European commission, took a new face, nearer and less hermetic. Its intervention on the policy of the European commission as regards energy and more particularly as regards biocarburants, if it made it possible to better apprehend the key processes of its implementation, was for the farmers the occasion to announce maladjustment of the application of certain directives to the field realities. Rendezvous was taken, in September to write a note at Management Energy of the European commission.
France, in this field, is very late on its European engagements.
Bringing its experiment of ground, Jose Perez, director of the Deulep company which will develop in Fos-sur-Mer an production unit of bioéthanol, allowed to have a relevant lighting on the processes of development of bioéthanol. The positioning of each actor of the die showed the possibility for with the farmers the options which, in the long term,
could be theirs.
Then, it was to the farmers to present their projects, their successes. All the participants could noted that they faisent innovation with the daily newspaper and had taken very relevant positions taking into consideration trade-circuit new. That it is Didier Tronc, director of a.O.C Foin of Crau (only nonfood A.O.C in Europe) which sells throughout the world of which Saudi Arabia or Japan, the hay which produces the members of the grouping or Governed Molenat, President of the O.P Alliance, which markets 15000 tons of tomatos, through France and allowed us to share the adventure of STREAKED, variety of tomatos to the so recognizable color (green striped of red) with exceptional gustatory qualities, Jerome Grangier which, for John Deere, developed agriculture precision and knows all the secrecies of the colza and sunflower oils, of their production with their various uses, all have, with much professionalism and passion, shared their experiments, their difficulties and their successes.Fabian Banks-Sennou, economist, in charge of research to the INRA of Toulouse deciphered the marks of distributors. After an inventory of fixtures of the situation in France and Europe, it was devoted to an analysis of the stakes which are played daily newspaper between the producers and large distribution. Evolution of these markets, many laws
Frenchwomen to frame them established in France a single situation in the world which leads to very unbalanced power struggles. These various lightings have permisà each one to better be able to apprehend daily realities and to face there, with
future, with more assets.
Robert Coste, President de Groupama, partner of the operation, put at the center debates, the mutualism which was in the middle of the social and economic structuring of the agricultural world, so much in the medium of the insurance than in that of the bank. Thus, if the agricultural world innovated to exist, it did not cease making it and essaimé throughout the world its values of solidarity which made its force.
The visits of exploitation were the occasion to find on their grounds, the farmers. The production of tomatos out-ground in reasoned agriculture, at Arravecchia or that of the hay of Crau in A.O.C at Patrice Vulpian, without forgetting the plantations of olivers of Mouriès, belong to the florets of our area. The safeguarding of the environment and the constraints of the production lead these
owners with being in turn commercial biologists, engineers, farmers 
and. That is also found in Marie-Pierre Callet who, while fighting for the protection of the wetlands of the marsh of the Beams, launched, this year on the Field of Malaga, the culture of the sunflower. Multiple competences for multiple talents with quality with go.
The lunches, within the marvellous and authentic framework of the Mill Peyre, old mill with oil, were the best occasion to share produced area - fishings of Rémy Coste, the guardiane of bull of Bernard Granier, the goat's milk cheeses of Malbosc, the wines of the Field Gourgonnier, the pork-butchery of the Arnaud.
Taking into account the success of their initiative, Marie-Pierre Callet, Philippe Banon and Colette Faravel d'@gricolae already took the option to renew this Summer school, in 2007.
