Agropolis Fondation coordinates a network of research units in “Agriculture and Sustainable Development”.
This multidisciplinary scientific network builds a continuum of scientific knowledge on plants: from the gene to the agro-ecosystem and the end use of plants, with recognised expertise on a very large number of plant species in temperate, tropical and Mediterranean regions. This network includes more than 40 research units located in Montpellier and its surroundings, but also in Reunion Island and the West Indies with about 1,600 scientists and 600 PhD students.
Our network’s expertise is organised around five key scientific fields:
• Plant biology
• Biology of plant biotic interactions
• Agronomy and management of agro-ecosystems
• Sciences of food and non-food processing
• Social sciences and agriculture-society interactions
