On Wednesday 17th of December 2025, the Veolia Institute and the Collectif Roots are pleased to invite you to a screening-debate dedicated to the following theme:

**How can we ensure high-quality, environmentally friendly food production that is profitable for those who produce it and affordable to the greatest number?**

The documentary **“Leurs Champs du Coeur - Le Vrai Coût de Notre Alimentation”** is a trip around France, meeting fifteen farmers that talk about their challenges, potential solutions and of the beauty of their job.

They provide sincere, moving testimonials that incite a collective reflection and encourage initiatives to improve our food systems.

**The screening will be followed by a debate.** Its purpose is to discuss ways to meet the following objectives, usually considered as contradictory:

- Producing high-quality, environmentally friendly food,
- Ensuring fair remuneration to farmers,
- Maintaining affordable prices to consumers.

 **We are pleased to receive at the debate’s roundtable:**

- **Mickaël Denis-Shi:** Film director of the documentary *Leurs Champs du Coeur* and director of *France Nature Environnement Ile de France*
- **Maëlenn Poitrenaud*****:*** Head of Research and Innovation at the Agricultural expertise of Veolia France
- **Jean Baptiste Faure:** Head of the "Ferme de Gally" in Saint-Denis.
