Pollution
Public policy support – Pollution
INRAE scientists and their partners talk about the research, expertise, training and facilities management activities carried out together to inform public policies to combat environmental pollution linked to oil-based plastics and microplastics. For example, INRAE’s research supports a reduction in the use of plastics, phytosanitary products and inputs in agriculture and food. It also focuses on the dispersion and environmental fate of plastics and their environmental and health impacts.

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.
