quibbling is welcome since it allows the life of the debate;)

The commitment (the 5 generals) is bi-lateral, there was never any question of "forcing" the producers or vice versa. They have been our partners for years, so it is thanks to this climate of trust that this project is possible.

The pesticides used are not organic, only regulated. Many of them (deemed dangerous to humans or the environment) have been strictly prohibited.

For the purchase of land, this would be a national commitment ... We are not there yet ...

At our level, we can only pretend to change the habits of production and consumption (by offering internet users the opportunity to answer a questionnaire which has been modified according to everyone's comments and on which it is now possible to ' Express : Lol: )

It takes time to think. ;)

Are you an instrument of mass distribution, are you part of it in one way or another (financing, participation, etc.)

How do you stand in relation to GMOs, what should your position be if they become allowed?
Do you already distribute them in certain countries where they are not prohibited, if so, through another channel?

Do you have other sectors that are not yet as demanding from an environmental point of view (sister companies, shareholders, equity investments or whatnot) but that your objective is clearly to converge in the long term "qualitatively" in the form you present here?

Are you completely independent of any link with the chemical industry (having regard to the requirements that you negotiate with your "partner producers").

And to avoid other types of conflicts of interest (and if you are not already part of it), are you completely free and independent of the large distributorship (via your contractual links with it, agree). As such, are you completely free from the products that you suggest to farmers ...

In short, what is your degree of independence and real autonomy? (In particular vis-à-vis the financial sector via your loans and your shareholding, if you are in SA)

About the production of fruits and vegetables in Spain: http://blog.laruchequiditoui.fr/fraises ... -massacre/

Result: as we dip our strawberries in whipped cream, skin and lung diseases explode in the Donana region. While ordering a strawberry plant, Moroccans, Romanians and illegal immigrants live in more than precarious conditions for a pittance. And by the time of reading this article, more than 3 tonnes of strawberries have been picked in Spain.
