The Joint Research Unit Innovation and Development in Agriculture and the agrifood sector

develops research work on the innovation processes considered as individual and collective action processes including technical and organisational innovations. It looks at the series of processes, from actors’ aims to innovate up to the effects  induced by these innovations on the development. The UMR’s research is carried out in France and abroad with a large number of researchers and research projects abroad. Within the UMR’s interdisciplinary scientific project  we associate skills in the areas of biotechnical sciences (agronomy) and social sciences (economics, sociology, anthropology, geography, management science, law).
