Bio Nouvelle-Aquitaine

What Bio Nouvelle-Aquitaine does

Bio Nouvelle-Aquitaine (legal name: FRAB Nouvelle-Aquitaine) is a non-profit regional federation serving as the Nouvelle-Aquitaine branch of the Fédération Nationale d'Agriculture Biologique (FNAB), France's national professional organization for organic farming. The federation coordinates 12 departmental agricultural groups (Groupements d'Agriculteurs Bio, or GABs) across the region, providing administrative, technical, and political support to organic producers, businesses, distributors, local authorities, and citizen associations. It convenes its members through a 24-member Board of Directors representing three colleges (producers, businesses/citizens, and institutional partners).

Its core offerings include technical support, training, networking, and advocacy. The federation operates a Qualiopi-certified training program, with member farmers and installation candidates paying 20€/day funded through Vivéa. Its most notable technical asset is an interactive regional map (carte.bionouvelleaquitaine.com) that enables users to locate organic producers and products across the region. The organization also co-manages the Bio Sud Ouest France brand, a collective distribution initiative for regional organic producers.

Revenue is generated primarily through membership dues from organic producers, businesses, local authorities, and citizen associations, supplemented by training fees. The organization employs 29-40 staff, is headquartered in Bègles near Bordeaux, and was constituted in 2017 following regional reorganization. As a non-profit federation, its scale and sustainability are tied to organic farming adoption rates and institutional support in southwestern France.
