The research facilities are located on different sites. The main sites are Jouy-en-Josas near Paris (50% of our scientists), Toulouse (35% of our scientists) and Guadeloupe. The other research teams or units are established for the most part, in association with partners (other INRA Divisions, agronomy and veterinary schools, universities, other research organisations). The experimental facilities include 12 farms distributed over the western half of France and one unit situated in Guadeloupe working on both multidisciplinary studies and studies on animal production in tropical climate.
