Ongoing or recently completed projects

Isère Ponds Project No. 2 2024-2026, as part of the 2024 biodiversity call for projects from the Isère Departmental Council (Research and Development Focus).
Projet CaSDo : Statistical mapping of soils in the Dombes region. IGCS program (Inventory for Soil Management and Conservation) funded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty and co-funded by the Dombes Community of Municipalities and the Rhône-Mediterranean-Corsica Water Agency.
Projet CLEAR : Collaborative Landscape Planning for Enhanced Agrobiodiversity and Resilience. Key words: Agroecosystem services, collaborative practices, indicators, landscape, agri-environmental policies.
Funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) as part of the Sus-Crop ERA NET call for projects.
Projet PSE Dombes : Scientific monitoring of the PES (Payment for Environmental Services) program in Dombes from 2022 to 2026. The program aims to preserve water resources: quantitative aspects (adapting agro-fishery systems to climate change) and qualitative aspects (mitigating diffuse pollution from pesticides). Funded by the Dombes Community of Municipalities and the Rhône-Méditerranée-Corse Water Agency.
