Commitment N° 1: To contribute to the future of farmers and different forms of agriculture

Founded in 2005 at the initiative of Limagrain, momagri is both a producer of reflection and new ideas, and a builder of tools to help political considerations to move forward. After creating its own economic model, momagri has decided to launch an agricultural rating agency in the form of a start-up. The aim is to use “the power of information” to initiate a better awareness, by political leaders and international organizations, of the repercussions at stake with the evolution of different forms of agriculture in the world.

It will rate the international agricultural policies and practices in order to guide international decision-makers on a regular basis. The Agency has just presented the first results of an interim report on a new indicator: “SGPA” (Global Support to Agricultural Production). The objective
targeted by the SGPA indicator is as far as possible, to integrate the different direct and indirect transmission channels which allow a government to subsidize its agriculture, and which do not necessarily appear in the national agricultural budget. The SGPA indicator aims at providing a more exhaustive and wider vision than the OECD indicator, the PSE (Producer Support Estimate), which is essential to improve international discussions. 

These two instruments, the economic model and the rating agency, together form the basis of true governance and new international co-operation for agriculture.
