More than 20 years ago, this mode of production was not understood. At the beginning of the 2000s, it became a guarantee of quality and consumers were not mistaken, meeting the offer proposed by the two brothers and by other producers in their region. Their bet proved to be a win–win situation for all.

Models developed by researchers in digital agriculture can support the decision and transition required by such reconversions (Figure 1.11). Hélène Raynal explains:
