Nature & Progrès is a citizen-led movement, free from any corporate influence, composed of members from civil society and professional members who meet the requirements of its charter.
Its charter is the glue that unites members around the Nature & Progrès association’s mission and its goals. Accepting it—or better yet, embracing it—is a voluntary act. It determines the activities of local groups and the Federation, their positions, and their operating rules. Every N&P member, regardless of their activity or the nature of their commitment, can embrace the charter and its principles and strive to implement them. Holders of the Nature & Progrès certification commit, in particular, to applying it to the best of their ability in their professional activities, with a view to continuous improvement.
Founded in 1964 to promote recognition and advancement of organic agriculture, Nature & Progrès offers a comprehensive commitment that goes far beyond a simple label and is part of an agroecology movement driven by farmers worldwide.
The founding principle of N&P is the search for an agricultural model that serves as an alternative to agribusiness—one capable of preserving the natural fertility of the soil, ensuring farmers’ autonomy, and providing healthy food accessible to all.
Despite the successes achieved through its growth and legal recognition, organic agriculture is today confined to a niche market by institutional actors and political bodies. The official definition adopted is limited to a technical dimension that does not question either the industrialization of organic farming or its social and ecological repercussions.
