Contributing to the development and preservation of territories

Jean Louis PITON, President of the INAO Permanent Council, and Michaël WEBER, President of the Federation, have signed a 3-year partnership agreement between the two establishments. This partnership, based on the complementarity of their missions in the territories, extends the 1st partnership initiated between INAO and the Federation in 2018 at the Salon de l'Agriculture.

This partnership highlights the shared interest of the two establishments in the development and preservation of territories and their desire to support the deployment of agro-ecological practices. The Fédération des Parcs naturels régionaux de France and INAO are thus organizing the mobilization and synergies of their respective networks: 58 regional nature parks, 8 INAO territorial delegations, organizations for the defense and management of origin and quality identification signs.

It's worth noting that the Parks are particularly concerned by SIQOs: 100% of RNPs concerned by at least one GI, and 95.8% of RNP communes concerned by at least one GI.

5 areas of collaboration

The aim of this partnership is to structure collaboration around 5 lines of action:

Sharing actions on SIQO and the Valeurs Parc naturel régional brand:The Valeurs Parc naturel régional collective brand, owned by the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, is deployed within the 58 Parcs naturels régionaux. The aim is to inform each other of ongoing projects and avoid any confusion in the consumer's mind between the Valeurs Parc naturel régional brand and the SIQO (quality and origin identification signs).
Accompanying and raising awareness of agro-ecology: Exchanges of experience and networking will be on the agenda to support agriculture that is diversified, resilient, remunerative, makes the most of local resources, preserves biodiversity and is rooted in the territories. The aim is also to encourage the inclusion of criteria for agro-ecological practices in product specifications.

L’AOC Cidre du Perche s’est construite dans un partenariat très fort entre la Fédération et l’INAO.

Protect agricultural land under SIQO: The aim is to pool information and raise awareness among stakeholders about development projects on agricultural land within the territory of Regional Nature Parks.
Exchanging data and collaborating on common subjects: The Federation and INAO undertake to keep each other informed of the progress of initiatives undertaken by each: deployment of the Valeurs Parc naturel régional brand in the territories, modification or creation of SIQOs, acquisition of new geographical data...
Communicating and training: The respective networks of the Federation of French Regional Nature Parks and INAO will be informed of the existence and objectives of this new agreement. Information or training sessions on each other's missions and actions may be proposed on subjects such as SIQO, agroecology, how the PNRs operate...
