We experiment with various solutions such as decision-making tools, robotics, biocontrol, farm digitalization, and new agroecological practices.
We offer startups access to testing grounds, concrete feedback from farmers and cooperatives, as well as support to accelerate their market launch.
We conduct real-world tests, analyze performance indicators, and collect feedback from farmers to measure the effectiveness of the innovations implemented using a specific evaluation tool.
We support various sectors, including field crops, livestock farming (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry), viticulture, market gardening, and arboriculture, by offering solutions adapted to their challenges.
Fermes Leader stands out for its field-based approach and close relationship with agricultural cooperatives. Unlike other networks, our mission is to ensure a pragmatic connection between the needs of farmers and emerging technological solutions, while supporting their large-scale deployment.
