TERO

TERO is a cooperative company created in 2015 by 51 members, composed of individuals and corporate entities, and now counts 79 members. Currently we have more than 60 professional partners, international experts and experienced professionals in agricultural and rural development in France and internationally. They are willing to contribute their skills and experience for an ethical and committed expertise. Five institutional members accompany TERO and provide their skill, experience and network not only in their own specific domain but also in the management of cooperative companies: ETHIQUABLE, SCIC SENS, AVSF, URSCOP and Terracoopa. TERO uses its expertise to assist stakeholders and projects that allow rural communities, often threatened by exclusion and precarity, to generate sustainable revenues and livelihoods. It also supports them in becoming responsible for their own development. TERO supports rural territories, both in the Southern countries and in France, in developing greater autonomy and food sovereignty. TERO services and skills contribute to improve family farming performances and to the recognition of their role and modernity in facing food, employment, ecological and climate challenges for the 21st century. TERO contributes to strengthening local stakeholders linked to rural and local development as well as to the creation of solidarity and cooperation bonds between territorial development stakeholders, rural, urban, public and private. In 2017, TERO decided to support Small Producers' Symbol (SPP) development by diversifying its activities and launching the first French speaking SPP certification service
