Supporting the Agricultural Transition – Le Printemps des Terres
Agriculture alone accounts for nearly one fifth of greenhouse gas emissions in France. To mitigate climate change, farmers are called upon to provide environmental services.

The French company Le Printemps des Terres supports them through investment. It identifies projects requiring investment, buys the land, leases it to the farmer carrying the project, and finances the ecological enhancements - notably carbon sequestration and actions favorable to biodiversity. By the end of the process, it gives the farmer the right to buy the land back. By becoming the temporary owner, Le Printemps des Terres allows the farmer to benefit from the long-term investments.
