With an agricultural area covering 48% of the territory, and more than 12 million inhabitants, the Ile-de-France region has a spontaneous interest in the issue of food and agriculture, in addition to the issues of education, training and employment that concern it directly. Thus, the Ile-de-France region is naturally committed alongside Hectar to the development of sustainable agriculture in Ile-de-France, and to the development of employment-oriented training.
