The grand prize for the collective approach of the 2023-2024 Agroecology Trophies was awarded at the beginning of January 2024 to the GIEE (economic and environmental interest group) UHPR “Integrated Biological Protection” (Union of horticulturists and nurserymen of Reunion Island).
The economic and environmental interest group is a system officially recognized by the State to encourage agroecology in France. That of the UHPR is specifically dedicated to Integrated Biobiological Protection (PBI) within Reunion horticultural farms. Il promeut notamment l’utilisation d’insectes auxiliaires bénéfiques pour combattre naturellement les nuisibles. Le prix de la démarche individuelle a été attribué à Marion Meyer, une jeune agricultrice de Cilaos pionnière en permaculture.
