Jeunes Agriculteurs and TotalEnergies Strengthen Their Partnership for the Energy Transition of the Agricultural World
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) and Jeunes Agriculteurs (JA) announce the signing of a cooperation protocol aimed at supporting young farmers in the energy transition, thus contributing to the sustainability of their farming activities and attracting younger generations to agriculture.
Since 1986, TotalEnergies has partnered with Jeunes Agriculteurs through its involvement as a founding member of the "Terres Innovantes" endowment fund and as a premium partner of "Terres de JIM," an annual event that promotes and enhances the farming profession. The new cooperation framework signed today between TotalEnergies and Jeunes Agriculteurs covers the following areas:
- The development of sustainable energy solutions adapted to farms and agricultural sectors (biogas, agrivoltaics).
- Supporting young farmers in implementing more energy-efficient practices.
- Technological innovation through the implementation of pilot agri-energy projects and their experimental monitoring.
- Financing energy transition projects that comply with the plans and future contracts developed by Jeunes Agriculteurs.
TotalEnergies and Jeunes Agriculteurs share a common desire to provide solutions and tools adapted to the challenges and needs of farmers. This will be reflected in collaboration between their teams through working groups, meetings, and experience sharing.
“I am delighted to celebrate nearly 40 years of TotalEnergies' commitment to the French agricultural sector and to deepen our partnership with Jeunes Agriculteurs today. Facing the challenge of the energy transition, but also the opportunities it offers, our goal is to support young farmers in developing concrete solutions such as agrivoltaics, which protect crops while providing additional income for farmers. By combining agriculture and energy production on farms, our two sectors are concretely contributing to the French energy transition,” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.
“Jeunes Agriculteurs is a union of work and solutions fully committed to helping new generations face climatic, economic, demographic, and energy challenges. Alone we are a spur. Accompanied, we are in a position to build a more sustainable future, respectful of the nourishing vocation of farms and securing their economic sustainability. Through the strength of our network, while remaining faithful to our values and historical partners, such as TotalEnergies, we want to accelerate this movement alongside the continent's key institutions and companies,” said Pierrick Horel, President of Jeunes Agriculteurs.
