Agriculture
A more and more technical and sustainable agriculture
How will we nourish eight to ten billion people on our fragile planet?
To answer this crucial question, everyone in the agricultural sector must work together to produce more and to produce better.
InVivo Agriculture is contributing to this effort by pursuing three main goals:

- Invest in tools and partnerships that will aid cooperatives in their change processes;
- Use the know-how and expertise of French agriculture for the benefit of everyone in the industry, in France and abroad.
InVivo Agriculture is composed of seven divisions
- Seeds
- Agricultural supplies
- Agri-Environment
- Biocontrol
- Smart agriculture
- Logistics and Grain Storage
- Trading and financial services
