Agroecology and farming systems
Public policy support – Agroecology and farming systems
INRAE scientists and their partners talk about the research, expert appraisal, training and joint management activities carried out together to inform public policy for the agroecological transition – a transition that requires knowledge and know-how to protect crops and develop alternatives to the use of pesticides.

Permanent public policy support systems
Within the research-expertise-public policy support continuum, permanent public policy support systems are dedicated to supporting public policies and have their own permanent resources. INRAE is involved in various ways in the research-expertise-public policy support continuum.
