      Actively supporting the local economy

      A grand hotel with loyal customers and a renowned Michelin starred restaurant... Why not then be content to enjoy the success on the basis of “live happy, live hidden”? Because in many countries, the solidarity economy isn’t an option, it’s a vital necessity.

      Commitments Seeds of change Pierre Hivernat Publié le 03/04/2017

      Let's Be Climate Actors!

      I eat so I am

      It is 2050 and the 9 billion people living on Earth eat their fill thanks to Soylent. This liquid, invented in 2013 by American biochemists, provides man with all of the nutrients he needs. Eating is therefore no longer a daily pleasure. Is this just science fiction? Unless...

      Wild fish remaining wild

      From the North Sea, the English Channel, the Mediterranean, the China Sea, to the Pacific, not a month goes by without scientists around the world alerting us to the gradual disappearance of wild fish. Should we be worried? Definitely. Can we do something about it? Most certainly.
