INVITATION CAFÉ DOC “Le Yagour des Imazighren, les hommes libres” directed by Alain BOURBOUZE at CIHEAM Montpellier on February 29, 2024
Posted on February 19, 2024
The CIHEAM Montpellier is delighted to invite you to our first Café Doc of 2024 on Thursday 29 February to watch together a documentary film directed by Alain Bourbouze on The Yagour of the Imazighren, animated by Mélanie Requier-Desjardins.
“70 km south of Marrakech, at the foot of Jbel Meltsen (3600 m), lies the vast Yagour plateau, an exceptional cultural landscape shared by around forty villages. A highly subtle form of community grazing management is based on customary law and relies on the seasonal opening and closing of different collective pastures. This is the practice known as AGDAL… a small miracle of ‘endogenous’ pastoral organization that seems to have stood the test of time.”
Location: CIHEAM Montpellier, Centre de Documentation Méditerranéen, basement of Bât B
The Café Doc will start at 12:30 with coffee and sweets. You are welcome to arrive a little earlier for a chat.
If you would like to register, please contact docassistance@iamm.fr
The film projection will start at 12:45 sharp: 40 minutes, and will be followed by a discussion with the author.
Don’t hesitate to send us your Café Doc proposals for 2024.

CIHEAM Montpellier strengthens its relationship with Lebanon and will soon have an office in Beirut
Posted on February 13, 2024
The Director of CIHEAM Montpellier warmly thanks the Minister of Agriculture, Abbas Hajj Hassan, whom he has already received on two occasions in Montpellier, for the support given to his request and, beyond that, for the mutual efforts made by the CIHEAM and Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture teams to develop cooperation in training, research and development cooperation.
It was thanks to the Minister, to whom CIHEAM Montpellier had applied to open an office in Beirut, that the Council of Ministers meeting on Saturday 10 February officially approved the application.
This is the first office that CIHEAM Montpellier has opened in one of the CIHEAM member countries, and as welcomed by the Council of Ministers, it reflects the growing cooperation between CIHEAM and the Lebanese State.
CIHEAM Montpellier has been developing its relations with Lebanon for some fifteen years: a major partnership with the Lebanese University of Beirut as part of the IDTE Master2 program and now DATEM; coordination of cooperation projects (HASAD and now SUPMED) which have led to the development of a very strong relationship with the Ministry of Agriculture. New projects are currently being prepared, which will further strengthen the partnership and justify the opening of an office in Beirut.

Shared Success: Retrospective of the Turkish delegation’s visit to Toulouse
Posted on January 23, 2024
A Turkish delegation of 22 women, including cooperative presidents and representatives from the Ministries of Agriculture and Social Affairs, visited the Toulouse region to learn more about the organization of agricultural and non-agricultural cooperatives in France. The participants came from 12 different Turkish provinces.
The delegation on the offices of the Union des SCOP et SCIC
CIHEAM Montpellier was asked by the WomenCoop European project team to organize the program for this study tour, which followed similar visits to Italy, Spain and Portugal.
Running from December 12 to 17, 2023, their stay began with a visit to the Coopérative du Haricot Tarbais, followed by a varied program including Terra Alter Gascogne, Ethiquable, l’Union régionale des SCOP et SCIC Occitanie, Bien Commun, Coop’Action, Symbiosphère, Les Halles de la Cartoucherie and DivertCity. These visits provided an insight into the French cooperative model in terms of its structuring, operation, and values, an appreciation of the creativity and commitment of its players, and a chance to discover the diversity of existing initiatives. The whole experience created a genuine platform for learning and fruitful exchange for all concerned.
CIHEAM-Montpellier would like to thank all the participants and partners who contributed to the organization of this visit, including La Coopération Agricole Occitanie, la Fédération Régionale des Coopératives d’Utilisation de Matériel Agricole Occitanie, la Coopérative “Les fermes de Figeac” and of course all the structures that welcomed them. Their commitment and availability, despite a busy end-of-year schedule, was an essential factor in the success of this stay.
