Objectives

The programme “From Agronomy to Agroecology” aims to train future managers in plant production and its management according to agroecology principles. These managers will be called on to produce new knowledge on agroecosystems, from plot to territory scale, and on methods to manage them.

Their vocation is to become actors in multidisciplinary design and innovation processes, to help the ecological transition in agriculture and to make farming production meet the multiple challenges it must face.
