Paris International Agricultural Show
Join us from February 22 to March 1 at the Paris International Agricultural Show (Porte de Versailles) for nine days of exchanges with INRAE researchers. Our scheduled events include a symposium entitled "Agricultural systems in 2030 and beyond" and meetings with professionals in the field. You will discover how INRAE’s research on agriculture, food, and the environment affects your everyday life through various activities, lectures, and debates. Every day, there will be an interactive scientific workshop during which a researcher will discuss a different culinary recipe. We will be waiting for you: Hall 4 - Aisle B - Stand 91

The world's agricultural systems have several clear challenges: to feed the world, which will harbour more than 9 billion people by 2050; to reduce the environmental impact of food production systems; and to be an active partner in the fight against climate change. INRAE is the world's number-one institute for research on agriculture, food, and the environment. It carries out research and generates innovations with a variety of partners with a view to facilitating agricultural transitions both nationally and internationally. During the Paris International Agricultural Show, INRAE researchers will present solutions for these pressing global challenges.
INRAE's stand will include
- three informational kiosks where you can discover our research on agriculture, food, and the environment
- “A taste of science” interactive workshops sponsored by three-star chef Pierre Gagnaire and organised by INRAE researcher Hervé This, who created the discipline of molecular gastronomy
- a space dedicated to participatory science and research
- the presence of Éditions Quae, the joint scientific publishing company for INRAE, CIRAD, and IRD
- a central area to find out more about the new institute, as well as a conference room
