The R2D2 project, which stands for Restoring Natural Regulation and Increasing Robustness of Cropping Systems in the Burgundy Plateaux for a Sustainable Reduction in Dependence on Insecticides, began in 2018. Its aim is to support Burgundy farmers in the implementation of agro-ecological levers that will enable them to regain high and stable levels of production and profitability, in order to overcome the technical impasses they are facing.
As part of the Cap Protéines programme, a project is evaluating the possibility of introducing organic soya, processing it and using it in Réunion. This feasibility study is being conducted by Armeflhor with the technical support of experts from Terres Inovia and Terres Univia.
Within the framework of Cap Protéines, Terres Inovia, in partnership with the regional chambers of agriculture, is deploying in six pilot territories (Brittany, Normandy, New Aquitaine, Occitania, Grand Est, Burgundy Franche-Comté) a support approach to the agro-ecological transition, called Cap Agronomie.
As part of the Cap Protéines programme, Terres Inovia and its partners are organising the Printemps de l'autonomie protéique in collaboration with Idele. The event will take place in the field, in classrooms and via regular webinars!
The regional PEI Partage project, focused on reducing nitrogen losses on farms, is organizing a series of on-farm technical days.
During the collective intelligence competition called Idéathon - Nourrir la créativité (Feeding Creativity) at the end of March, 32 competitors were divided equally between the two branches in Lille and Dijon. They gave free rein to their individual and collective creativity to design and propose innovative ideas around plant proteins in human nutrition.
The study carried out by Ceresco, Circoé and Terre Inovia, with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, takes stock of the legume sector and considers the obstacles and logistical levers to its development.
For more than thirty years, Terres Inovia and Terres Univia have been conducting seed quality observatories: rapeseed, sunflower, pea and faba bean since the 1990s, soybean since 2014 and more recently lentil and chickpea, through the Cap Protéines programme.
Terres Inovia has just moved its experimentation station, previously based in Grignon (Yvelines), to Guichainville, in the Eure region. A strategic position that concentrates the institute's partners and the rapeseed plots where the trials are carried out.
Terres Inovia and INRAE are pooling their know-how in an associated partnership laboratory dedicated to the research and development of efficient, innovative and low-input cropping systems.
Within the framework of Cap Protéines, the activity of Terres Inovia's seed processing and valorisation department aims to act on the technical levers that condition the concentration of proteins, their digestibility and their availability in the local sectors.
The Russian-Ukrainian war between the world's two largest producers of sunflower seeds, oil and meal is impacting agricultural markets.
At the PlantAlliance conference on March 9, David Gouache, deputy director of the institute, presented Terres Inovia's work to enable plants to cope with environmental variations.
The European Food Safety Authority has issued its opinion on the biobased solvent EcoXtract® composed of 2-Methyloxolane, stating that it can be safely used for the extraction of edible vegetable oils
The players in the sector, including Terres Inovia, are invited to think about alternatives to Phosmet, which will soon be withdrawn from the market. This action plan, supported by a call for projects financed by CASDAR and the sector, is leading to a call for expressions of interest to collect research and development proposals. They are expected by April 11.
