French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment INRAE

INRAE is the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment. Its mission is to carry out excellent science in order to provide innovative solutions addressing global challenges, notably climate change, biodiversity and food security while enabling agroecological, nutritional and energy transitions. This research also serves policy making from regional to international levels.
With more than 250 research and experimental units (18 regional research centres and 14 scientific departments), INRAE works in close cooperation with a wide range of external partners supporting a continuum between fundamental research and applied research and fostering a cross-disciplinary approach. INRAE also plays a major role in defining and aligning European research through its leading role within joint research programmes (such as FACCE-JPI, Water JPI…) and partnerships (e.g. PEER) as well as by coordinating and participating in numerous European and international projects.

Role in ALL-Ready

On behalf of FACCE-JPI, INRAE coordinates this project and is thus responsible for WP8. INRAE is also leader of WP1 and contributes to WP2, 3, 4 and 5.
With proven expertise both in the LL approach and in agroecology, the main activity of INRAE in WP1 is to lay the ground work for the future EU partnership by preparing, together with key stakeholders, the vision, scope and mission of the Network.
