About Didier

About
After working for 30 years in the world of business and start-ups, I felt the need to carry out my daily actions with as much meaning as possible.
Initially, the project stems from an irrepressible desire for permaculture (thanks to the Bec Hellouin farm and the film Demain by Cyril Dion!), and to seek food autonomy in fruits and vegetables for our family of 5 on our agricultural plot adjoining our house.
For several years, I have been training in agroecology, small-scale market gardening, the production of fermented extracts and effective microorganisms, regenerative hydrology, and facilitation in agroecology.
Daily experimentation in the garden-orchard-vegetable patch allows me to share my experiences, my successes and my failures, and sometimes also my questions about the planet's climatic future...
My goal is to raise awareness of the Living to as many people as possible, primarily in my location, and also in their workplace.
I will be delighted to pass on to you what I have learned, and what I have experienced over all these years!
The family project

My intention
I wish to raise awareness of agroecology among the greatest number of people, and to transmit the concepts of agroecology with a view to taking into account the Living in all its aspects.
To achieve this, I value kindness, active listening, and collective intelligence at all times.

My background
American MBA
30 years of career in marketing and business development in France and abroad.
I have been an employee, an entrepreneur, a start-up founder.
