Farewell, Jacques

Jacques Baratier slipped away in 2007. He was our founder. He invented Agrisud’s ethics and approach back in the 1980’s in Congo. He offered all his energy to Agrisud’s development.

He recruited the competent team that continues to run the association. Fellows like Yvonnick, our managing director, joined the staff at the very onset.

We owe Jacques the very meaning of our commitment. Thanks to him, we are the craftsmen of an intelligent, well-known development approach.

Others, much greater in number, over 19,000 small entrepreneurs, some 80,000 persons with a stable job as well as their families have been lifted out of poverty because through Agrisud, Jacques offered them tools in life. Let us listen to the countless voices that express their gratitude to him. And we, the board and team of Agrisud, say thank you Jacques for having guided us. You shall always remain our source of inspiration.

2 y through enterprise

Message from the chairman: new prospects

At the onset, Jacques Baratier presented his plan as « fighting poverty through enterprise ». Agrisud was to help the poor in the South to run their own sustainable small-holder enterprise, well-rooted in the local market. This economic approach remains the cornerstone of our action. It applies essentially to small family-size agriculture.

With time, we have enriched the concept. Today, we contri- bute to sustainable development in a number of ways. Our aim is to help accomplish the “Millennium Development Objectives”:

- food security: for small-holder entrepreneurs and their families to begin with ; for local markets through improved supply of fresh produce and lower vulnerability to seasonal cycles. Mostly, we provide assistance in different countries, namely in Africa, to better anticipate dramatic food deficien- organizations covering issues such as setting up and mana- cies that are expected to proliferate all along this century. gement of development projects; Today, more than ever, local family-size farming supplying - development and environment: while climatic disrup- local populations appears as a fundamental solution to food tions, such as floods and drought or devastating slash and shortages in developing countries; burn techniques cause migration, our programs help the populations to settle on a piece of land ; they create stable - gender equality: women represent over half of the far- jobs and support the local economic fabric.

In various countries, there is now 3 demand for organic products: we shall accompany our entrepreneurs to satisfy this growing demand.

The 2007 report is a review of a positive year in all res- pects, be it in terms of the number of newly launched enterprises or financial bottom line. It also highlights our will to achieve two major objectives: transfer know-how to local organizations and become a leader in eco-farming at the service of economic and social development. Our ulti- mate goal is today, more than ever, to contribute to devising sustainable solutions that can tackle food shortages.

Launched by former Agrisud team members, it enjoys 13 years of experience and was trained by the Capacity building Program in 2004. With a team of 17, AGRICAM is today Agrisud’s active partner, helping to sustain the programs initiated since 1995 and launching new projects. On the field, AGRICAM coordinates several operations aimed at launching small-holder agricultural enterprises. AGRICAM receives structural backing from Agrisud through the presence of a volunteer and financial support through the Pro Victimis Foundation. 10 Board of Directors
