Paris International Agricultural Show 2022

Our stand: Water and climate research in action

Water: a vital resource

Global change poses a threat to both the quantity and quality of water to which we have access. How can we better manage this vital resource to support our agriculture, food production and ecosystems? How can we better plan for and manage the related risks?

Come and talk to our scientists!

We have a full itinerary for you:

Our international partnerships in the spotlight

Monday 28 February 2 pm – 3 pm Presentation of COSTEA – an international project on irrigated agriculture.
Sami Bouarfa, INRAE research director will be on the AFD stand

Tuesday 1 March 11 am - 12 pm One Health and food security: interconnection and issues
The PREZODE initiative, on the CIRAD-AFD stand
Actions to prevent the risks of disease emergence are closely linked to issues surrounding food security and sustainable food systems in many world regions. What are these links? How does preventing these risks impact on food security and health in territories? How can and should the PREZODE initiative take account of these global aspects in order to prevent risks within healthy socio-ecosystems? Policy and scientific experts will debate these key questions.

Thursday 3 March 10 am – 12.15 pm Transforming food systems and agriculture through research in partnership with Africa
Hall 1, ESPACE 2000, on invitation, in partnership with CIRAD

Partnership African and French institutions partner up through TSARA (nouvelle fenêtre)

TSARA, initiated by two French research institutes – CIRAD and INRAE – and developed jointly with around 20 African partners (universities and research institutes), aims to strengthen cooperation in order to promote sustainable agriculture, food systems and agricultural, pastoral and forestry landscapes.

Digital agriculture and AgTech

This themed seminar will be held on 1 March from 2.30 pm to 5.30 pm in Hall 1 – Salle Espace 2000.
You can also watch online from our French page.

Digital agriculture is often reduced to the idea of precision agriculture, which entails managing production systems more accurately by working on smaller spatial scales and using instantaneous data. Digital technologies certainly make this possible, but they open the door to a much larger range of possibilities. Thanks to technological and organisational advances, digital technologies can support major change in many ways by making the invisible visible, by detecting new patterns using artificial intelligence, by reducing data asymmetries along value chains and by offering new automation capabilities (robotics). With digital technologies, we can imagine new agricultural models, explore the status of data and consider the effects on the roles of the various research, development and innovation stakeholders. Given this huge field of possibilities, AgTech abounds with initiatives and ideas.

This seminar will offer a broad look at digital technologies in agriculture through discussions of work by researchers and doctoral students, talks by research and innovation managers, and the presentation of a white paper co-authored by INRAE and Inria.

Participatory science awards ceremony

Friday 4 March, 10 am – 12.30 pm Awards ceremony at the INRAE stand

Today, INRAE and other research organisations have developed an array of participatory science activities. These initiatives address the ever-increasing concerns of citizens with regard to their food, environment and health, and they support dialogue between science and society while enhancing understanding of the scientific method.

Participatory science is a major part of INRAE’s commitment to open science.

For the first time, INRAE will be handing out a prize to recognise two participatory science projects with a strong societal impact.

Challenge Become the champion of agroecology (nouvelle fenêtre)

For the Paris International Agricultural Show 2022 and the full release of the Roots of Tomorrow video game on agroecology, the startup Gamabilis and its partners (among which INRAE is a scientific advisor for the game) are organising a tournament in France’s different regions.

26 February to 3 March, from 1 pm to 1.30 pm: conference/tasting at the INRAE stand.
You can also watch the live broadcast online from our page in French.

Thursday 3 March: Balancing animal- and plant-based proteins: innovations to encourage people to eat more legumes
with François Mariotti, INRAE, and Julien Ferretti, Institut Paul Bocuse

The objective of the Educational Farm, organized by the Syndicat National des Vétérinaires d’Exercice Libéral (SNVEL), is to present to the general public the interactions of the various professional actors within the livestock industry.

On Monday 28 February and Tuesday 1 March, on the 300 m² stand of the Educational Farm, INRAE scientists will explain how they work on a daily basis in the livestock sector. Find out more about the two conferences on animal health (in French).
