Diversification, foin et agriculture de conservation avec Alexandre

In this episode of Tomorrow Two Boots, we meet Alexandre Portier, a farmer in the Val-d'Oise region, who runs a family farm with multiple farming systems. Through his story, Alexandre shares an original example of agricultural diversification: barn-dried hay, developed several years ago on the farm to make use of low-productivity land and secure a market that demands high quality. But this episode goes far beyond hay. 🎙️ Alexandre primarily shares a farmer's thought process: – his establishment and working with his family, – choices that sometimes break with previous practices, – the development of conservation agriculture, – how he makes technical and economic decisions, – the management of equipment, working time, and investments. A sincere, thoughtful, and very practical exchange that shows there isn't a single model, but rather coherent systems, designed for the long term, rooted in a specific territory, and forward-looking. 🎧 An inspiring episode for those wondering about diversification, the evolution of practices, and the farming profession today. 🎧 Tomorrow Two Boots: voices from the field to cultivate the future with their feet firmly on the ground. 📍 Available on all your favorite listening platforms. 🌱 Who is Agora?
