LE 100e SINGE

What LE 100e SINGE does

Le 100e Singe is a French cooperative (SCIC SA à capital variable) founded in 2016 in Castanet-Tolosan, Occitanie, operating an agroecological third-place (tiers-lieu) that combines an agricultural testing incubator, shared workspaces, and consulting services for territorial transitions. The core physical infrastructure comprises 800m² of buildings and 3 hectares of fields at the Castanet-Tolosan site, connected through an "archipelago model" to multiple satellite testing sites across the Toulouse periurban area. The cooperative's purpose is to support agricultural entrepreneurs in professional reconversion by providing land (5,000m² to 1 hectare), tools, a social-status carrier, technical accompaniment, and integration into a 200+ member farmer network, allowing test-phase projects to run for up to three years before full installation.

The organization is organized around three complementary poles: an agricultural testing incubator (Espace-test agricole) that has produced documented successful farm installations since 2020; shared workspaces (espaces de travail partagés) offering resident offices, training rooms, and a Farm Lab fablab with laser cutter, 3D printer, and wood/metal workshop; and Le Labo du Centième Singe, a consulting arm that supports local authorities (intercommunalités, communes, departments) in structuring agricultural and social transition projects. The cooperative also delivers a portfolio of six training programs (Première ancre, Hydronomie, Aquaponie low-tech, Tiers-lieu nourricier, Parcours Fertile, Bilan de compétences) and public advocacy interventions.

Revenue mechanics span four streams: associative contributions for incubation, training fees (€217–€1,890 per session with funded and self-financed tiers), coworking and space rentals (€250/month per resident office, €10/hour for wellness room, €150–€350/day for event spaces), and consultative accompaniment for public-sector clients. The entity serves agricultural entrepreneurs in professional reconversion, local authorities undertaking agricultural transition, and ESS (Social and Solidarity Economy) project carriers in the Occitanie region, operating with a small team of approximately 8 employees under co-direction of Amandine Largeaud and David-Alexandre Lobry.
