🌿 About
Our story
👤 Romain Borie – Founder & Consultant in Agroecological Transition
“I am convinced that island territories have within them the human, natural and cultural resources to become sovereign, resilient and regenerative again.”
An agronomist by training, specializing in island food systems, I have been involved for over 15 years in French Polynesia and internationally in the implementation of agricultural, environmental and territorial projects with high social and ecological value.
Trained at the intersection of agricultural sciences, human ecology, and the circular economy, I have developed an integrated approach deeply rooted in local realities. My career has led me to collaborate with public institutions, rural communities, sustainable hotels, foundations, and territorial innovation laboratories.
Agrodev has a clear vision:
➡️ Support the agroecological transition of island territories,
➡️ Strengthen their food and energy autonomy,
➡️ Reconciling agricultural practices, natural environments and ancestral knowledge,
➡️ Promote the emergence of sustainable, reproducible models anchored in the cultural specificities of each territory.
We believe that each island can once again become a living laboratory of ecological solutions adapted to the challenges of the 21st century: climate change, food insecurity, loss of biodiversity, economic vulnerability.
