Research at ISA
Results and perspectives
Research at ISA Group is a strong element of the institute’s evolution. Research is essential to ensure a high level scientific training, to ensure the durability of the institute and its international development.
Here is a brief assessment of the action led in 2009-2010 and an opening on the perspectives and research themes for the future years in the different research centers.
First of all, our research professors participated and presented their works in many conferences in France and abroad, in Italy (Florence, Bologna, Orvieto), Poland, England, Canada, Thailand, etc.
One of the big moments of this year was the FESIA conference on « The future of the dairy territories », national day of meetings between scientists and professionals in Paris.
The goal was to present the results of 4 years of work following the call for FESIA project and the execution of 4 research projects led by teams: “Future of low dairy density areas, « Territories and dairy restructuring », « What happens after quotas ? » and « Breeder, a trade/career in question ».
ISA Group’s research professors also led field missions within research projects in Morocco and in Australia. Finally, let’s note that honors were given to Benoît Hubert and Joop Lensink., etc.
Regarding perspectives, many projects are about to start.
In the same approach as the “Dynamic of the dairy Territories” program that is now completed, a new call for FESIA project has been made on the theme: “Conception and Evaluation of high environmental performances agricultural systems”.
As of today, the letters of intent have been submitted by the research teams and the leading committee will make its choice. The restitution day will be in 2013 or 2014.
To be continued.
