ANDES

As part of its mission to boost rural areas, Fondation Avril supported the Uniterres program, led by ANDES, during three years, from 2015 to 2017. Uniterres assisted farmers during their transition phase to improve their reintegration into market channels. Vulnerable farmers, or in a transition phase, supplied solidarity grocery stores with quality, local and seasonal products, thanks to a contract ensuring them an annual income.

“The aim is to bring together farmers in need and solidarity grocery stores that lack fresh produce and turn these two weaknesses into an extraordinary project called Uniterres.”
