Under the Shadow of the Tree
The team
Budding engineers in search of resilience
SOA aims to show the real added value of agroforestry,
to know if in the shade of these trees hide farms that respect the planet and the people who protect it.
The association law 1901 Sous L’ombre de l’arbre (SOA) was born in 2019 from the meeting between three studentsat AGROPARISTECH, engineering school in life and environmental sciences and industries;concerned by environmental management issues, thirsty for meetings and discoveries and passionate about the field of images.
The project arose from the desire to integrate the study of agricultural and ecological themes with socio-economic issues often specific to a country or region.
