Food economy
for everyone to eat well

We are aiming to put forward environmental, energy, digital, economic and social transitions to develop sustainable, responsible and competitive aquaculture and agriculture. In particular, we are working on process control and answering new social needs.

Breton R&I landscape in this domain is composed of 100+ research structures. They can rely on different innovation actors such as SATT Ouest Valorisation to develop market applications. Clusters like Valorial and VEGEPOLYS VALLEY boost collaborations between economic actors and academic ones.

Agrocampus Ouest is dedicated to life sciences, from plant and seeds phenotyping, agricultural systems, to milk transformation. AO researchers also work on fish population monitoring, at the crossroads with the “Maritime economy for blue growth” area.

At Université de Rennes 1, researchers are working on the links between environment, nutrition and health.

At Université de Bretagne Occidentale, researchers are working on agri-food issues from a safety and quality perspective. This include work on microbial food spoilage, economics, management or sustainable alimentation practices.
