Preserving and managing common goods such as water, biodiversity and soil, anticipating and managing natural, food and environmental risks, and initiating food and agroecological transitions are all societal issues that fall within INRAE’s remit. All these issues are covered by public policies and benefit from INRAE’s scientific expertise.

The major public policies in INRAE’s fields stem from European and international directives and agreements, national laws and plans, and local and regional policies. They have a variety of aims: animal welfare, the Common Agricultural Policy, the nitrates directive or the green algae plan, etc.
