The Biovallée® located along the Drôme river is a territory based on environmental innovation and sustainable development.

Biovallée has been active for several decades through the conviction of women and men who make it an internationally recognised exam the conviction of women and men who make it an internationally recognised example of transition to a sustainable future. Originally, a municipalities community deposited this mark of territory to unite the public bodies of the valley, companies, associations and collectives around a reference charter, to share with all the volunteers a focal point, a transition path. The development of this charter and this brand is entrusted to the Biovallée® association, which has submitted a collective application in the 3rd National Investment Program for the Future. The valley becomes the winner as “Biovallée®, Territory of innovation”, for a multifaceted project in the fields of energy, thermal renovation, food, agricultural practices and mobility.
