Chambre d'agriculture des Pyrénées-Atlantiques

What Chambre d'agriculture des Pyrénées-Atlantiques does

The Chambre d'agriculture des Pyrénées-Atlantiques (also operating as Chambre d'agriculture 64) is a French public institutional body (établissement public consulaire) and departmental chamber of agriculture serving the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department (department 64) in southwestern France, covering the Béarn and Basque Country territories. Headquartered at 124 boulevard Tourasse in Pau, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the organization operates with 38 employees as part of the national network of Chambers of Agriculture coordinated by APCA (Assemblée Permanente des Chambres d'Agriculture) and supervised by the French Ministry of Agriculture.

The chamber's service portfolio is organized around three pillars: information and advisory services (S'informer), professional training (Se former), and personalized farm accompaniment (Etre accompagné). Core offerings include farm installation and transmission support, regulatory compliance assistance, Common Agricultural Policy (PAC) and PCAE modernization aid, Certiphyto pesticide certification, animal identification, performance monitoring (Controle de performance), irrigation bulletins, ecobuage (moorland burning) regulation, and climate-change adaptation advisory. It also operates specialized sectoral networks including Bio réseau 64 (organic farming), Agroréseau 64, Bienvenue à la Ferme (agritourism), and AsCLiC SO (livestock support), and runs a Qualiopi-certified professional training program.

Revenue derives from a mandatory professional agricultural tax (taxe additionnelle à la taxe foncière sur le non-bâti) levied on farmers, complemented by government subsidies and fees for training and advisory services. Distribution is delivered through the Pau headquarters office, the pa.chambres-agriculture.fr website, telephone support (05 59 80 70 00), Facebook, Instagram, RSS feeds, and recurring in-person events such as technical mornings and the annual Rencontre annuelle conseil élevage 640. The chamber functions as a statutory monopoly provider for official agricultural administrative functions in the department and as a community hub for the local farming ecosystem.
