UniLaSalle

The department uses state-of-the-art scientific infrastructures for its research, including:

• An agronomic facility
• A biotechnology and plant disease facility
• A cell and molecular biology facility
• An analytical chemistry facility

• Exploration of potential long-term partnerships that promote the sustainability of farms and land, involving mixed farmers and breeders, for the provision of food resources by mixed farmers.
• Exploration of how agro-environmental measures and reduced use of crop protection products affect the yield and agricultural supply activities of a cooperative in catchment areas.
• Is it feasible to introduce soybeans into cropping systems in Oise from a climatic, agronomic and economic perspective and in terms of the organization of farm labor and potential outlets? What areas, soils and cropping systems should be targeted? What surfaces and volume would be most effective?
• Experimental agroforestry development project in different catchment areas
• Applied research and development program for rainwater management in catchment areas

The department’s research in its specialist fields is supported by an active network of partners, including institutions, research organizations and companies in the sector.
