This page is in progress -
On this page, you can discover a presentation of the 546 projects funded by Agropolis Fondation since its creation in 2007. A search engine is at your disposal and the projects are extractable in PDF format.
The flagship projects are presented above. These are the ones that have received more than 500 000 euros in funding.
The Foundation supports three categories of projects:
| Research projects | Training projects | Dissemination, promotion and transfer projects |
|---|---|---|
| Exploratory and innovative projects; Disciplinary projects exploring research fronts; Major multidisciplinary flagship projects. |
Creation of training courses; Establishment of MOOCs; International thematic schools. |
International scientific events; Project maturation/transfer; Publication and dissemination. |
If you are the project leader, do not hesitate to contact us if you wish to make any changes.
We have chosen to present all projects in English to simplify export.

Weed FLOral RESource potential and diversity in Mediterranean vineyards and olive agroecoABSYSs
The widespread decline of bees, bumblebees, hoverflies in cultivated landscapes over the last decades is a major concern considering their crucial role in pollinating cultivated and wild plants. However, emergent agroecological practices may support the recovery of floral resources and pollinator communities. For instance, the increasing use of wild species as service crops in vineyards and olive agroecosystems can enrich and diversify (...)

What future for livestock activities?
Livestock farming activities are undergoing a profound and lasting reappraisal in our contemporary societies. They are strongly called upon in the name of morality: animal welfare, ethical vegetarianism, global warming, collapse of biodiversity, food security, etc. In this sense, their mutations are a relevant object of analysis of the transformations of the relationship between agriculture and society. The seminar "QUels Avenirs pour les (...)

Ad hoc support : REGENCROP Workshop and training
WORKSHOP Plant Regeneration, Transformation and Genome Editing 2020 (PRTGE)
The RegenCrop consortium brings together more than 50 researchers from a dozen research centres working on more than 20 plant species. The coordinator of this network is Mr. Pierre Hilson (INRA Versailles). For the past three years, this consortium has organised a workshop each year in a different member institution (and city) of the network. In 2020, the workshop will take place in Montpellier at CIRAD from 20 to 24 April 2020 and its work (...)

Xanthomonas Oryzae Co-infections : developing methodologies to address their epidemiological consequences.
The composition and impact of microbial communities in virtually any conceivable ecosystem on earth are being unravelled at a fast pace in large part because of the development of short read NGS technologies for amplicon sequencing. However, despite its importance the composition of diseased plant tissue microbial assemblages in nature still remains poorly characterized and would probably require more resolutive approaches for taxonomic (...)
