Science answers

Unveiling rare diversity: the origin of heritable mutations in trees

What is the origin of genetic diversity in plants? Can new mutations acquired during growth be passed on to seeds? INRAE scientists, in collaboration with CIRAD and the CNRS, have used the French Guiana forest as the setting for their research, leading to a series of discoveries on this fundamental question in biology.

Impacts of the European Green Deal on the agrifood sector

Researchers at INRAE analysed the market and non-market impacts of the European Green Deal on the European agrifood system. Substantial positive impacts on the climate, the environment and public health require simultaneous action on agricultural production, food losses and waste, and eating patterns. However, major challenges (especially from an economic point of view) are also to be expected and should not be downplayed.

EU project LIFE PASTORALP results: Towards sustainable mountain pastoralism

This collaboration between the University of Florence in Italy and INRAE and CNRS in France aimed to help mountain grazing systems adapt to climate change by developing concrete solutions and recommendations. LIFE PASTORALP produced an online mapping tool for monitoring shifts in mountain pastures, along with a series of management and public policy recommendations that can help ensure the future of pastoral farming in these regions.
