Acte Agri Plus

What Acte Agri Plus does

Acte Agri Plus (doing business as aa+) is a French private professional-services consultancy (SAS) headquartered in Albi that supports agricultural and agrifood actors in the agroecological transition. Founded in January 2021 as a spin-off combining ACTHUEL (agricultural project support and sustainable development strategy) and ARTIFEX (environmental studies and consulting), the firm delivers custom, quote-based engagements from a compact team of experienced agronomist engineers and specialized regulatory mission managers.

The firm's core technology and offering comprises seven service lines: agrivoltaic project accompaniment, low-carbon strategy development, stakeholder consultation, crop management guidance, professional training for PV-sector professionals, methanization support, and photovoltaic consulting. It also produces two recurring knowledge products — an annual agrivoltaic census (currently in its 7th edition) and a Carbon White Paper — that codify its methodology and provide recurring market-wide data. Service delivery is direct and field-based across France, with no resale, distribution, or platform layer.

Revenue mechanics are project-based consulting billed as custom engagements, supplemented by training program fees and knowledge-publication distribution. Customers span farmers and breeders (primary), agrifood operators (viticulture, distilleries, milling), solar/PV developers, and territorial stakeholders. GTM is sales-led through the corporate website, LinkedIn, industry events, and thought-leadership content. The firm is privately held by its founding partners, has not disclosed institutional funding, and is actively hiring to support continued growth.

• ENGIE: Global energy major with significant French renewable and agrivoltaic activities. Comparable because it is a major counterparty in the same French agrivoltaic and methanization markets where Acte Agri Plus provides advisory and stakeholder consultation services.
• EDF: French state-owned energy major with a large renewable and agrivoltaic project pipeline. Comparable because it both drives and shapes the same French agrivoltaic regulatory and stakeholder landscape that Acte Agri Plus advises on.
• TotalEnergies: Global integrated energy company with an active French agrivoltaic and biogas portfolio. Comparable as a large developer counterpart whose agrivoltaic and methanization projects generate demand for the kind of agricultural and regulatory advisory work Acte Agri Plus performs.

Direct peers

Closely comparable to Acte Agri Plus because it operates in the same French agrivoltaic niche, serving farmers and developers on regulatory, agronomic, and feasibility work.
• GreenFlex: French sustainability and energy transition consultancy advising corporates on carbon strategy, energy efficiency, and CSR. Comparable to Acte Agri Plus because it sells similar strategy, transition roadmap, and stakeholder engagement services into a comparable client base.
• EcoAct: International carbon footprint, climate strategy, and sustainability consultancy with a strong French presence. Comparable to Acte Agri Plus on the carbon strategy, emissions reduction, and economic valorization offerings delivered to corporate and agri-food clients.

Comparable because it addresses the same farmer/agri-food buyer with adjacent sustainability and compliance advisory services.

Others

Comparable because it directly shapes the carbon, agrivoltaic, and methanization regulatory environment in which Acte Agri Plus operates and serves as an ecosystem participant rather than a competitor.
