French term or phrase: amont agricole

A short report about sustainable development, for a major producer of fresh/frozen/canned produce.

And it's bullet points, I'm afraid.

"Ce document dresse l’état des lieux du Groupe pour les quatre grands axes que nous avons retenus ; à savoir :
- Les ressources humaines
- L’amont agricole
- Les ressources naturelles
- Les qualités nutritionnelles de nos produits.

Grateful for your help.

Les ressources humaines = Human resources
- L’amont agricole = food production
- Les ressources naturelles = natural resources
- Les qualités nutritionnelles de nos produits.= nutritional quality of our products

Makes sense, right?

Great, thanks a lot. I also really liked "agricultural supply chain", but stuck with this one as it was sufficiently vague, as was the source text.

I also found this page when looking for the term, but I am always reticent about relying on texts that are obviously translated from French, unless of course they are particularly good translations.

our (agricultural) produce supplie(r)s

Explanation:
