Developing sustainable yet high-yield agricultural systems is a major priority in today’s world. Researchers at INRA have recently published a meta-analysis of wheat and maize crops showing that yields from low-input farming (using few phytosanitary products) drop only slightly compared to conventional agriculture.

Regional governance modes for the coexistence of GM and non-GM crops

The management of GM crops questions the governance modes of agricultural regions, notably regarding the cohabitation of actors who adopt different strategies. Indeed, how can the well-being of a non-GM farmer be preserved alongside another who has chosen to grow this type of crop?
