In a new video, Grégory Loucougaray, a plant ecology researcher at LESSEM (Laboratoire Ecosystèmes et Sociétés en Montagne), describes the results of his research and how it forms part of an approach to support public policy.
Grégory Loucougaray has been studying the impact of agropastoral practices and climate change on the biodiversity and ecological functions of mountain meadows and mountain pastures for some twenty years. This work is at the crossroads of agricultural and environmental public policy. It contributes both to preserving the biodiversity of grasslands, which is essential for strengthening their resilience, and to supporting agropastoralism. Co-construction is at the heart of these research projects, to ensure that knowledge is shared more effectively between local partners, farmers and scientists.

Regional nature parks and INRAE: a partnership for regional transition
The Regional Nature Parks (PNR), established in 1967 and now numbering 58, are important partners for INRAE. This partnership has been strengthened since the signing of a framework agreement with the Fédération des PNR in 2021. INRAE’s scientists, who are committed to the issues of sustainable development of territories and transitions, are involved in a variety of ways, ranging from research collaboration to expertise on scientific councils. This dossier illustrates the rich and diverse partnership between the two partners, which makes the NRPs innovative laboratories for change and research areas for public policy support.
