The French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) produces scientific knowledge and works for economic and social innovation in the areas of food, agriculture and the environment.
INRA is involved in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, and promoting alternative agricultural and forestry practices that can respond to non-reversible climate change. In today’s complex climatic, demographic and energy context, INRA deals with major issues on various scales: international partnerships and agricultural research leadership.
INRA is eager to understanding individual behaviour on a regional or market level; studying the relationships between plant, animal and human health; researching new ways of producing energy and materials from agricultural sources in order to overall environmental impacts.
