00:00 We are going to have a necessary conference on how to raise awareness and educate our children.
00:04 We see more than just a challenge, a necessity of society certainly today.
00:09 I believe that this challenge is essential for the social and environmental impact.
00:21 I say this by saying that we have to remake the tomorrow's foodies.
00:25 There will be no environmental transition,
00:28 there will be no agricultural transition if there are no foodies.
00:31 Today we are in a society, and I come from a society of consumption,
00:35 which has become a society of over-consumption,
00:37 where we thought that the cheap was working,
00:40 while the cheap does not work.
00:42 So we have to relearn, and to relearn, nothing is better than children,
00:45 to transmit the value of things.
00:47 In a gastronomy course, I'm not even talking about a cooking course,
00:50 there is a course on food hygiene,
00:52 there is a cooking course,
00:54 there is a geography course,
00:56 there is an arithmetic course,
00:58 and all of this put together will ultimately build the tomorrow's foodies.
01:03 Because as long as we are consumers, even over-consumers,
01:06 we are damaging our planet.
01:08 We have a relationship to this rurality in terms of presence.
01:11 We have registered for three years the National Agriculture Days,
01:14 farms are opening up, transformers are opening up,
01:17 a little more than 2,000 people are already frequenting these openings.
01:21 How do we get involved?
01:23 Do we have to visit farms? Do we have to meet farmers?
01:26 First of all, yes, meeting is always good,
01:30 it's not always easy for farmers, they have a job.
01:32 Of course.
01:33 I've been working with the agricultural world for 22 years now,
01:38 through Bleu Blanquer.
01:40 And Bleu Blanquer was about defining what a good product is.
01:43 You see, for the consumer, the eater, what is a good product?
01:47 Its social impact, how much the farmer is paid,
01:50 its environmental impact, what is the environmental impact of this product,
01:54 and its nutritional impact.
01:56 And that has to be measured.
01:58 And the more we move forward, that's why an agricultural project is real-time,
02:02 and real-time in agriculture is between 5 and 10 years.
02:05 So we have to admit that.
02:07 We have to admit that agricultural policies are real-time,
02:10 and the real-time of agriculture is between 5 and 10 years.
02:13 So we have to measure the things that make us move forward,
02:16 the social impact, the environmental impact, and the nutritional impact.
02:19 At the end of the chain, there has to be a citizen who understands
02:23 that in purchasing power, there is power.
02:25 I think so, yes.
02:26 There is the power to say no to certain products.
02:28 So, precisely, the last point on which I know you are very committed,
02:31 is the transmission of the know-how of the trades.
02:35 To newcomers, to the youngest as well,
02:37 to define a professional future,
02:39 it is there too to engage them on a true definition of taste and living together.
02:42 That is to say, to engage them on a professional path,
02:45 it is to engage them in a project.
02:47 What is interesting is that people are no longer interested in a job.
02:51 They want a project.
02:53 A thriving project.
02:55 That is why we strive to bring people away from a project,
03:00 away from employment, away for reasons of precariousness,
03:04 to bring them back to the idea of a social project and a project for them.
03:08 Thank you Thierry.
