Today, 21,500 farms and 14,000 employees make up a cooperative recognized for its values and economic credibility. The Terrena cooperative was born from the will of farmers to sustainably enhance their animal and plant productions, to energize their territory and to share an economic dynamic. It bases its activities on respect for 7 cooperative values: Free membership Democratic control: one man equals one vote Distribution of wealth: distribution in proportion to the operations carried out Valuation of people and not of capital Solidarité intergénérationnelle par l’indisponibilité des réserves Attachement des adhérents au territoire Neutralité politique et religieuse Un modèle aux bénéfices de tous Pour être adhérent à Terrena, un agriculteur doit avoir son siège d’exploitation dans le territoire de la coopérative. L’animation coopérative est un maillon essentiel du déploiement des axes stratégiques de la coopérative auprès de ses adhérents. Elle est structurée autour de 500 réunions dites de « Bassins de vie » qui ont lieu chaque année avec les agriculteurs élus sur leur zone géographique. Cette organisation décentralisée garantit écoute et réactivité dans les décisions. Attached to their land and to their cooperative values, the men and women of Terrena have been able to pool their energies to put their know-how and their capacity for innovation at the service of society and make products accessible to the greatest number of consumers. quality from their farms.
