Chambre d'agriculture des Alpes de Haute-Provence

What Chambre d'agriculture des Alpes de Haute-Provence does

The Chambre d'agriculture des Alpes de Haute-Provence is a French departmental public agricultural institution, operating under the French Ministry of Agriculture and embedded in the regional Chambres d'agriculture Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA) network of six departmental chambers (alongside Hautes-Alpes, Alpes-Maritimes, Bouches-du-Rhône, Var, and Vaucluse). Its statutory mandate, established under the French Agricultural Orientation Code, is to deliver advisory services, training, and intermediation support to the agricultural sector of the Alpes de Haute-Provence department.

Its service portfolio is organized around three primary programs. PROAGRI is a structured support program for active farmers covering land access (foncier), construction, administrative procedures, production, adaptation, certification, diversification, and sales channels. TERRALTO is a parallel program for local authorities (collectivités), addressing territorial development, biodiversity, new-farmer installation, short supply chains, and water/climate transition. Supporting services include a "Futurs Agriculteurs" track for career discovery, reconversion, and installation financing, plus a dedicated "Agriculteurs en difficulté" crisis-support service for farmers facing economic, climatic (wildfire, drought), or personal hardship. Mandatory regulatory training (Certiphyto) and participation in DEPHY et Collectifs innovants round out the agro-environmental portfolio.

Its primary digital asset is MesParcelles, a web-based farm-management platform developed collaboratively across the French chamber network, enabling farmers to track parcels, manage activities, and maintain a numerical phytosanitary registry (registre phyto numérique) evolving toward full digital compliance with 2027 deadlines. The chamber distributes services across four physical locations — its Digne-les-Bains headquarters plus antennes in Oraison, La Mure-Argens, and Sisteron — and reaches audiences through newsletters, social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube), in-person field events (Marchés paysans, Journées en alpage, éductours), and website publications.

Revenue is generated through mandatory professional agricultural levies (taxes consulaires), public subsidies (notably CASDAR and FEADER/EU funding), and training and formation fees. The chamber is government-owned, headed by President Laurent DEPIEDS and Director Bernard SAVORNIN, with no private equity, venture capital, or external investor ownership applicable.
