Enhancing the genetic diversity and variability of crops and livestock for the agroecological transition
Our main research focuses on the design and evaluation of agroecosystems based on the principles of agroecology. In this context, we investigate the ecosystem services that emerge from the integration of crops (fruit trees and forage grasses) with livestock production (small ruminants and monogastric herbivores) within organic orchard systems. Our aim is to assess the benefits of different crop–livestock associations for both plants and animals.
Beyond evaluating the environmental impacts of these associations, we also examine the economic and social benefits that such agroecosystems may generate for farmers. In particular, we are interested in understanding how farmers’ personal aspirations and social networks contribute to the development and adoption of crop-livestock associations.
Within the framework of the third Agroecology Partnership call, we seek to establish a network of organic farmers practising crop-livestock integration. This network will allow us to consult partners on the key plant and animal traits that, based on their experience and practices, should be selected and/or reinforced to enhance the resilience of their production systems. To this end, we propose a case study centred on organic rabbit farming, focusing on the use of local breeds and the diversity of farming systems and practices.

INRAE, the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment, is committed to exploring the frontiers of science and conducting high-calibre research with global relevance. The Institute makes major contributions to European research and actively participates in European research programmes, including research networks, Horizon 2020 projects, and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. In this context, INRAE is currently developing bilateral and trilateral partnerships.
Our international collaborations focus on sharing laboratories and research infrastructure, integrating into international research networks, and contributing to the work of international organisations. Accelerating agroecological and food system transitions while addressing socio-economic challenges is one of INRAE’s five research priorities within its 2030 strategy (see: https://www.inrae.fr/en/about-us/inrae2030).
Our research team is based in Toulouse and is part of the GenPhySE research unit. Further information is available on our website: https://genphyse.inrae.fr/poles
