Danone Ecosystem

La relation humain-animal est un critère clé du bien-être animal mais aussi du bien-être de l’éleveur ! 🧑🌾   Cette relation se crée au quotidien par les différentes interactions et interventions réalisées par l'éleveur et impacte les performances des animaux mais aussi les conditions de travail et de sécurité. C'est un critère important pour évaluer le bien-être des animaux. 🐄   Grâce à la participation de Michel Tranvoiz (éleveur partenaire de Danone), les équipes de la Chaire bien-être animal VetAgro Sup et Pauline GARCIA ETHO-DIVERSITE nous avons ainsi exploré le sujet dans le cadre de notre programme dédié au bien-être animal. Formation à la perception sensorielle des bovins, construction de la relation et enrichissement du milieu, état des lieux des pratiques, évaluation de la relation humain animal à plusieurs étapes … autant de sujets travaillés et dont les grands enseignements sont résumés dans ce document.   Merci aux équipes et aux partenaires pour le travail mené dans le cadre de ce projet !

I am thrilled to share that I am taking over the position of Danone Ecosystem General Manager on top of my current Vice President Africa Milk Sustainability role at Danone.   Born from Danone's 'dual project', Danone Ecosystem has thrived for 15 years by empowering #communities, impacting #health and #planet through over 100 concrete projects. Its journey is rooted in the belief that Danone cannot thrive and be truly sustainable unless its ecosystem is healthy. Project after project, Ecosystem acts locally to transform Danone value chain into one that’s healthy, circular, sustainable, regenerative, inclusive. With over €200M co-invested with partners, Danone Ecosystem has generated real, measurable change through meticulous designed and implemented projects to make a tangible difference like empowering 80,000 professionals all along the Danone food chain impacting positively the lives of 6,000,000 people. I am thrilled to continue building Danone Ecosystem alongside a passionate team, honoring the legacy of Jean-Christophe Laugée, Eric Soubeiran, Yann-Gaël RIO, Pierre BOU, Ambroise Veillon, Nicolas GAUSSERES, and past members of the Danone Ecosys’team. 

🎥 Dive into the video and embark on an inspiring journey with Sukono, Ngationo, and Taufik – three Indonesian farmers, implementing regenerative practices on the Rejoso watershed. 💧👨🌾 The Rejoso watershed is home to a crucial water source for a population of 1.6 million people. But over the past years, it’s faced significant decline, which poses a threat to the #livehoods of millions of farmers and communities who depend on it. It was time to act. That’s why in 2016, we co-created the Rejoso Kita project. It’s goal? Protecting and restoring the Rejoso watershed. The project's distinctiveness stems from its #comprehensive coverage of the entire watershed: upstream, midstream and downstream. 🌳 𝐔𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬: 1.Improving water infiltration rate by protecting trees in the upstream areas and reforesting in the midstream. 2.Promoting the adoption of sustainable practices to increase water infiltration and reduce erosion. 3.Create incentives through the ‘Payment of Ecosystem Services’ enabling financial rewards to grow more trees, while preserving existing ones. 🌾𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬: 1.Implementing climate smart paddy rice. 2.Installing proper wells to improve water usage efficiency. 🤝 The implementation of this project is the result of #collaborative efforts. Its achievements are attributed to the involvement of the community and the backing of diverse private and public entities: Danone Indonesia, Pasuruan Watershed Forum, CIFOR-ICRAF, KSP TEKUN, KARYA MASYARAKAT MANDIRI, Rabo Foundation, SII Foundation and the Pasuruan Regency. 

🌏 International Mother Earth Day is a reminder of our shared responsibility towards our planet. Fueled by the power of co-creation, here’s a glimpse of how Danone Ecosystem is contributing towards a #sustainable food system through different projects:   💧 𝙍𝙚𝙟𝙤𝙨𝙤 𝙆𝙞𝙩𝙖, 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙖: The project aims to preserve and restore the Rejoso #watershed through sustainable practices. Through this initiative, 47,000 trees have been planted and preserved from 2016 to 2023.🌳    🍓👩🌾𝙈𝙖𝙙𝙧𝙚 𝙏𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖, 𝙈𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙘𝙤: The project aims to empower smallholder strawberry farmer communities by providing an innovative set of training, technologies and capital access. Through this initiative, 560 workers and 140 farmers have been trained on sustainable regenerative practices from 2018 to 2023. 🐄𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙚, 𝙁𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚: Among all the organic farms partnering with Danone in 2023, 60% of farm surface area were permanent grasslands. 🌿🌱🍃 This initiative has led to preserving #biodiversity and creating a culture of resilience.   🤝 We are grateful to our partners making our shared goals a reality: Institut de l'Elevage (idele), Les Prés Rient Bio, Danone, Agence de l'Eau, Nuup, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH, TechnoServe, Walmart Foundation, AQUA, CIFOR-ICRAF, Social Investment Indonesia, Rabo Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, KSP Tekun, Karya Masyarakat Mandiri and many more... !

⚕️World Health Day 2024, with its focus on the theme "My Health, my right“ is a key moment to reflect on the fundamental principles of #healthcare accessibility and quality. 👉 At Danone Ecosystem, we stand firm to championing these #rights, particularly in the context of healthy #aging. 🤝 In alignment with this global focus, we're excited to unveil our latest endeavor, a public #health initiative in #France. Our goal is to make aging synonymous with living well, and its eventual success will rely on an adapted and inclusive approach that responds to local French challenges and context. The aim of this new initiative is to create and make accessible a multimodal prevention pathway – as deployed in the Netherlands - to help preserve autonomy and quality of life for French seniors. 👀 We invite you to read the article and learn more! #UNhealthyageingdecade #worldhealthday2024 

🌱👨🌾 Let's meet David and his mother Nicole, dairy #farmers in the East of France. With the support of partners from the program 𝘓𝘦𝘴 2 𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘳 𝘛𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦, they have implemented new practices linked to #regenerative agriculture. On their farm, David & Nicole decided to focus on the well-being of their cows and the preservation of #soil life by: 🐄 Installing fans and mattresses in the dairy cow building 🌳 Planting trees and hedges 🪱 Reducing soil tillage and enriching the soil with organic matter 👉 All these actions contribute to improving animal comfort, increasing #milk production, and reducing #greenhouse gas emissions. This multi-faceted approach is important in securing the environmental and economic resilience of farms to ensure the renewal of generations. 🙏 This program has flourished through collaborative efforts and collective approach involving farmers and program partners: Danone, Institut de l'Elevage (idele), MiiMOSA and Les Prés Rient Bio. Discover David's testimony! 

👩🌾🐄🌿 We believe that collaboration is the key to building a resilient and #sustainable future. 🤝 While endorsing the idea of leveraging financial partners, Frédérick Pasquier shared that “𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘥𝘦-𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳.”. 👩🌾 Echoing Frédérick, Maëline BAUDET took the platform to applaud the principles of regenerative agriculture and how it provides multidimensional approach to #farmers to be flexible towards making informed decision based on the technical and socio-economic reality of their operation. Morgane Yvergniaux further asserted on embracing a ‘holistic approach for territorial regenerative agriculture and highlighted the necessity to consider all environmental and social components to organize new projects. Collective intelligence is considered as an important lever to encourage the adoption of these new practices. 🌍 Dana Rakha-Michalon emphasized on the importance of measuring impact and driving collective investments at landscape level. ‘Aligning on a common set of metrics at ESG-level’ and 'creating opportunities for blended finance to fund collective landscape projects, connecting private and public actors’ is equally important to her as the transition to #regenerativeagriculture requires concerted efforts from all stakeholders. 🌿This round table co-animated with Pernod Ricard, OP2B and Danone was about shared commitment towards sustainable future, and how each one of us are laying the brick of change one by one!

🐄🌿 Last week at the Salon International de l'Agriculture, we actively listened to the voices that matters most – #farmers! The collaboration of Pernod Ricard, OP2B, Danone and Danone Ecosystem led to a Round Table discussions. With the theme of “𝙍𝙚𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚, 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙮 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙚 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨?”, industry leaders, and above all, farmers talked about their collective journey of resilience.   👩🌾Gael Dupont – Winemaker, and Anne Sophie Ansel – Livestock farmer, shared their transformative experiences, and how they are positioning themselves to transition towards #RegenerativeAgriculture.    🌍 Farmers know their world and want to play a key role in building a sustainable model that supports and aligns with their #entrepreneurial mindset. 👉Although they are implementing all means to thrive in the ever-changing landscape, they still need financial support along with the right kind of guidance from on-the-ground experts, NGOs, and other stakeholders to bridge the gap. Thus, allowing to address the risk factors involved in the transition process, which they believe is a big part of the #solution. 🙌 At the end of it, together they are acting to help other farmers make informed decision by building a space for open #discussions; collective knowledge sharing and action; and shared ambition for a larger #impact. 🔎 Stay tuned to learn more!
