At the Salon International de l'Agriculture, a conference on plant cover on the Acta stand on February 26 highlighted the Synergies Bio & non Bio inter-institute program, in which Terres Inovia participates.
Capitalize on knowledge between organic and non-organic products
The Synergies Bio & non Bio program, co-piloted by Acta and ITAB, involves 13 technical institutes, including Terres Inovia, to promote the sharing of knowledge between technical institutes. At the Salon International de l'Agriculture, a conference on "Plant cover, a lever for reinforcing ecosystem services", organized on the Acta stand on February 26, showcased this inter-institute program. " The work is produced by the institutes to identify and capitalize on knowledge to create links between organic and conventional agriculture ", explains Cécile Le Gall, research manager at Terres Inovia.
A brochure summarizing the work
Synergies bio et non bio is working on plant cover. " An inventory has been carried out, and 220 references have been produced by technical institutes, accessible via the GECO platform. The primary vocation of plant cover crops is to provide ecosystem services to improve soil fertility and help regulate pests and diseases. A brochure summarizing the work of the inter-institute program on plant cover crops was also distributed in 2025.
To equip those working in the field with the tools they need, the work involved questioning practices and sharing visions between players. " A wide variety of cover crops exist, with significant indirect effects on water quality, for example. It's a framework for thinking about the levers for adapting to climate change ".
