INRAE at the 2021 Tech & Bio International Trade Fair

INRAE is a partner of the international Tech&Bio exhibition. We will present our research on climate and biodiversity, and our scientists will speak at various conferences on all the topics covered during these two days.

Organic agriculture, climate and biodiversity stand (B7)

This year, the INRAE stand (B7) presents research results and projects conducted by the Institute on the links between organic agriculture, climate and biodiversity. You will also be able to learn more about INRAE's work and research strategy on organic agriculture.
