They talk about it

A graduate of the AgroParisTech agricultural engineering school and holder of a Master's degree in production and innovation in plant technical systems, Domitille Jamet is a crop systems and agronomy researcher.

"No two days are alike! Overall, I'm in charge of setting up and monitoring trials, in liaison with the experimentation stations and development engineers. Reflecting on the protocol, running the trials, analyzing the data and writing the summaries... for each trial, the aim is to produce operational results that can be transferred to the field. Like all the Institute's research managers, I specialize in a particular field.

What's my subject? Cropping systems, for example, with long-term trials studying innovative cropping systems or intercropping plant cover. They're all part of projects I'm involved in. There are regular meetings with project partners to coordinate, set objectives and produce deliverables. I also communicate the results of these trials at technical days, scientific symposia, webinars and articles for the agricultural press.

Working on innovative and multi-performing cropping systems seems to me essential to help farmers in the agroecological transition. It's a subject that I find both fascinating and useful. I also like the proximity to the field, the collaboration with the Institute's different professions such as development engineers, and the diversity of the missions".
