Agriterra is an agri-agency. In other words, it is an organisation for international cooperation that was founded by the civil society organisations of rural areas and the agricultural private sector. In 2003, together with agri-agencies from other western countries, amongst these Canada, Sweden and France, Agriterra founded AgriCord : the alliance of agri-agencies.

AgriCord coordinates the cooperation amongst all agri-agencies. This means that a request coming from a farmer’s organisation is able to reach the agri-agency that specialises in the working area related to that specific request.

In this way, one can guarantee that matters will be dealt with effectively and efficiently.
