Our research is structured into two fields :

 

 

Based on comprehensive surveys, direct observation, and intervention research, our research (into the reduction of pesticide use, peri-urban agriculture, traceability, and the transformation of technical advice, for example) is aimed at increasing the various players’ (farmers, agricultural institutions, and local communities) abilities to think about what is at stake today. It also contributes actively to the training of agricultural engineers and the further training of all players in the agricultural sector. Our methods are the comprehensive inquiry, direct observation and action-research.
