Solagro

What Solagro does

Solagro is a French engineering, consulting, and training firm operating in the energy-agriculture-environment transition space, headquartered in Toulouse and active since 1981. Originally an Association Loi 1901, it converted in June 2026 into a Société Coopérative d'Intérêt Collectif (SCIC SAS à capital variable), with a parallel AFTERRES association handling advocacy and prospective research. The firm operates as a multidisciplinary team of 60+ agronomists, energy specialists, process engineers, and social scientists organized around three service lines: engineering and consulting, research and prospective studies, and professional training.

Its core technology stack centers on proprietary web-based tools. DIALECTE, launched in 1993, is the firm's flagship agro-environmental diagnostic, using 40 quantitative indicators and qualitative auditor analysis to evaluate farm-level environmental impacts and verify Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) level 3 compliance. Climadiag Agriculture et Forêt, co-developed with Météo-France, delivers climate projection services to agricultural and forestry actors. The Afterres2050 scenario is a participatory prospective model for French agricultural, food, and energy transitions, with regional adaptations. Supporting platforms include ClimAgri (GHG emissions), DIA'TERRE (energy-GHG diagnostics), ALDO (carbon sinks), Osaé (agroecological resource hub), and Herbea (biological pest control), forming an integrated toolset around agroecology, methanization, climate adaptation, and forest-wood topics.

Solagro monetizes through project-based engineering and consulting contracts, research studies commissioned by ADEME, French ministries, and European institutions, and recurring professional training sessions (e.g., DIALECTE training at EUR 650 per 2-day session). GTM is expertise-led and direct: sales-led consulting engagements supplemented by event participation (ExpoBiogaz, Biogaz Europe, TEPOS encounters, European Climate Adaptation Conference), the Transi'store newsletter, and a multi-language self-serve platform layer. Customer concentration is anchored in French public-sector and EU institutional clients, with selected agricultural cooperatives and SMBs (Ferme de Figeac, CUMA Méthalayou) as secondary clients.
