Faced with climatic, economic and regulatory challenges, farmers need to change their practices while ensuring the viability of their business. Exco Fiduciaire du Sud-Ouest (Exco FSO), winner of the "Accompagnement des agriculteurs face aux changements climatiques" call for projects issued by the French Ministry of Agriculture, operated byADEME as part of France Nation Verte, is deploying a unique program in the Occitanie region to support farm transition, with its own signature: combining environmental performance and economic robustness.
A scheme supported up to 90% by the French Ministry of Agriculture and operated byADEME
The result of a national call for projects, this program gives farmers access to comprehensive strategic expertise, combining economic vision, environmental diagnosis and field support.
"Our missions reflect our vision of agricultural support: demanding in content, but simple in form. We want every farmer to be able to see clearly, make decisions, and move forward serenely."
- Patrice Laborde, Director of the Agricultural sector, partner chartered accountant Exco FSO - Gers sector referent
"It's a fantastic opportunity for farmers to step back, structure their strategy, and test transformation levers without assuming the financial risk alone."

Missions designed to suit every type of operation
Stagnating yields, rising costs, weakened soils, increased dependence on inputs, and increasingly limited opportunities to intervene due to the vagaries of the weather... many farmers feel alone in the face of the necessary transformations.
Our Exco experts are committed to working closely with our customers, listening to their needs and building partnerships. Each mission is designed to provide concrete support to operators, with a rigorous approach: technical and economic analysis, identification of operational levers, multi-year monitoring of results, and support in strategic decision-making.
