Entreprendre pour changer le monde
In "Changing the World through Enterprise", Ardèche farmer's son Didier Perréol explains how he built one of the most pioneering groups in the green economy. How did he manage to show that a different business model - serving people and the planet - was possible? What trials did he go through before finding his way into the global food-industry's complex supply chains? This "true novel" recounts a man's life, and retraces the key decisions and environmental, social and economic commitments that have forged his company's success.
Before winning, this food-industry captain endured storms and on several occasions lost almost everything. The twists and turns on the path of an explorer who one day discovered a gem of a plant - quinoa - on the high plateaux of Bolivia add up to a breathtaking journey.
This epic spans a quarter-century's commitment to organic smallholders, from the chestnut groves of Ardèche - where Didier Perréol's fight began - to Bolivia and all around the world.

Bon et Bio, mais c'est quoi la Bio ?
"Tasty and Organic, but what's Organic?" tells why and how more and more citizen-consumers are becoming eco-citizens and consumer-stakeholders of the organic sector (food, clothing, jobs, savings, etc.) and why this sector now offers the best chance to rescue the world from its dead-end; affirm universal human values; and offer future generations the planet they deserve.
Buoyed by their beliefs and personal experience, the authors of this courageous little book, which is particularly well-documented and emphatically optimistic, state with dynamic peace of mind that - with the now-famous phrase - "The third millennium with be organic, or will be nothing at all"!
