France
Second Region at the French level in area and very diversified.
The diversity of agricultural production stems from a great geographical diversity of the territory. In large masses, we observe that livestock farming has retreated to the middle mountains and the foothills of the massifs (Pyrenees and Massif Central). Field crops mainly occupy the west of the region, especially in the plains and hillsides, while viticulture is concentrated in the east of the region near the coast. Fruit and vegetable farms, spread throughout the country, also occupy an important place in the territory of the region.
Among the first regions of France for the Signs of Identification of Quality and Origin: 240 SIQO.
The innovative and value-creating food offer in order to adapt to changes (consumption, distribution, organization...) to anchor value on the territory is taken up within the framework of the OCCITANIE FOOD PACT which includes an innovation component to which the AD'OCC agency contributes. It also finds an outlet with the new theme "Developing digital solutions in agriculture and agri-food (see below) insofar in particular since logistics (last mile, short circuits) is concerned by digital (new configurations of distribution through digital solutions).
The development of digital solutions in agriculture and agri-food focuses on the overall improvement of production systems through better use/valorization of data, in order to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of sectors (agriculture, IAA), traceability in agro chains... As such, the Innovation Territory Occit@num (Laving lab) will be able to bring out collaborative projects with an economic vocation.
