La Ferme des Possibles, formerly known as Novaedia, is a French non-profit cooperative established in 2015 in Stains, Seine-Saint-Denis. It focuses on addressing ecological and social challenges through urban agriculture, professional insertion, and sustainable food systems. Founded by four friends, the cooperative evolved from initiatives aimed at youth education and employment into a SCIC that unites various stakeholders, including associations, businesses, and local authorities. The cooperative operates an urban agroecological farm that produces local, sustainable food using permaculture principles. It provides vocational training and rehabilitation for around 20 individuals, particularly from vulnerable groups, in agriculture, catering, and logistics. La Ferme des Possibles also develops a local organic food supply chain and offers educational programs on sustainable agriculture and nutrition. Its headquarters, the Résilience building, emphasizes energy efficiency and resource management, showcasing the cooperative's commitment to sustainability and community engagement.
