Selective extraction of high-added value molecules from coffee waste, by membrane and coupled separative technologies – EXTRAMEMCAF
The challenge of the project is to screen the potentialities of membrane and separative technologies for the coffee pulp treatment, while authorizing possibilities of innovative couplings, focusing on two aspects with respect to both environmental preservation and sustainable management: 1) extracti
Integrated modelling of coastal socio-ecological system for sustainable aquaculture – AQUA-MOD
Aquaculture is an important source of income and employment for European coastal territories and communities. It also contributes to maintain important ecosystem services when providing new ones such as water purification. But while addressing technical challenges, the sector is coping important iss
The future challenge in animal production will be to provide food to a growing human population by respecting a balance between quality products, consumer acceptance and safety, as well as animal welfare. In a perspective of safe and sustainable food systems, reducing the use of antibiotics in lives
Pheromones as general modulators of insect behaviour – PHEROMOD
A pheromone, as modulator, affects the intensity or the probability of experience-dependent behaviour. Pheromones should thus provide contextual information rendering subsequent learning relevant or irrelevant for the context signalled. The next question is whether the modulatory effect of phero
Trichogramma for plant protection: Pangenomics, Traits, and establIshment Capacities – TriPTIC
Several initiatives were launched to regulate the use of chemical inputs including pesticides (e.g. European Directive REACH) and France has adopted the Ecophyto 2018 plan aiming at reducing pesticide use. In this context, the development of effective biological control programs against pests has be
Agricultural land protection on urban fringes around the Mediterranean: justice issues and innovations in land management – JASMINN
In the Mediterranean, peri-urban agriculture shows contrasting dynamics, ranging from decline in the face of urbanization to adaptation to urban demands. The need to protect agricultural land, however, is often secondary to other priorities: economic (employment), social (housing), or environmental
Natural chitin-related bio-stimulators for sustainable agriculture – NICE CROPS
Our objectives are to evaluate the spectrum of organisms capable of producing COs and LCOs, analyze the molecular mechanisms involved in the different plant responses to these molecules, treat Medicago truncatula and soybean plants with different combinations of COs / LCOs and analyze the effectiven
Designing sustainable weed management strategies in a changing context (climate, agricultural practices, biodiversity) – CoSAC
Reduced herbicide use required by French and European legislation will change weed management. Weeds are very harmful for crop production but contribute to biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. Consequently, reduced herbicide use, agricultural production and biodiversity conservation must be reco
