Therefore, these are the reasons why we define ourselves as an economic transition laboratory.

 

After a period of researches, tests and various developments, we suggest the development of an agroforestry program directly followed by agro-tourism projects. It puts forward new ways to harvest and to take care of the land, to build with an eco-consciousness, and to live together through communal principle and collective intelligence. For this project, we are proud to propose a model of efficient gouvernance.
