Our research team is dedicated to analysing food systems
and highlighting transition pathways
Research and strategic analysis
Our research topics are structured around three axes :

Production systems

Food value chains

Transition pathways
Our approach departs from four observations :
Multidimensionality
Our approach looks at environmental, economic and social challenges of farm and food systems, striking to balance ecological boundaries and society’s essential needs.
Interdisciplinary
Embracing interdisciplinarity, our work integrates agronomy with political, economic, and social sciences to address the complexity of food systems.
Participatory approaches
By using participatory approaches, we value diverse experiential knowledge and produce results grounded in the realities of farm and food systems.
Multiple scales
Our approach looks at multiple scales of transition, including the meso-level which bridges micro-level practices with macro-level policies.
