Résumé

The use of chemical pesticides is a major societal concern due to their negative impact on the environment and health. The French Priority Research Programme "Growing and Protecting Crops Differently", led by INRAE, has a structuring role in the evolution of scientific communities and in the emergence of scientific fronts enabling pesticide-free crop protection. The aim of this book is to explain the foundations of this strategy and the principles for action.
On a course to pesticide-free agriculture, research is attempting to overcome current obstacles and produce breakthrough innovations in the biotechnical and socio-economic fields. In addition to research, teaching and the agricultural sector, this book also targets actors in innovation, development and advisory services.
Florence Jacquet is an economist and director of research at INRAE. Until 2022, she was responsible for scientific coordination of the Priority Research Programme "Growing and Protecting Crops Differently". Marie-Hélène Jeuffroy is an agronomist, director of research at INRAE. She conducts research into cropping system design, and coordinates the scientific network IDEAS (Initiative for the Design in Agrifood Systems) dedicated to participatory design processes and transition studies.
Julia Jouan is an agricultural economist and associate professor in UniLaSalle. She has been involved in promoting the work of the Priority Research Programme "Growing and Protecting Crops Differently". Laure Latruffe is an agricultural economist and director of research at INRAE. Since 2022, she is responsible for scientific coordination of the Priority Research Programme "Growing and Protecting Crops Differently".
Edith Le Cadre is professor of agronomy at Institut Agro. She conducts research on soil-plant feedback loops and the rhizosphere for the design of agroecological cropping systems. Thibaut Malausa is director of research at INRAE. He works on biocontrol agent populations and the deployment of biocontrol. Xavier Reboud is director of research at INRAE in agroecology, in charge of the role of digital technology and machinery in sustainable agriculture.
He is also involved in research on alternatives to pesticides, and the implications of their use by farmers and supply chains. Christian Huyghe is scientific director for agriculture at INRAE. He chairs the European Research Alliance "Towards a chemical pesticide-free agriculture" as well as the COST Action TOPAgri-Network dedicated to the pesticide reduction objective.
