Terre de Liens was born in 2003 from the convergence of several movements linking popular education, organic and biodynamic agriculture, ethical finance, solidarity economy and rural development. To enable citizens and farmers to mobilize and to act on the ground, the movement has invented new tools capable of halting the disappearance of farmland and facilitating access to agricultural land for new farmers. The objective is to promote citizen projects to enliven rural areas and support environmentally friendly agriculture through a triple articulation: an associative network, the Foncière (a solidarity investment company open to citizens) and the Foundation.
