New tools for measuring agroecological indicators in plants and animals

The PEPR Agroecology and Digital Technology program is funding several infrastructure projects to accelerate the agroecological transition. Among them, two flagship projects are exploring new ways of observing living organisms: PATASEL, dedicated to animals, and AgroEcoPhen, dedicated to plants. Their shared ambition is to identify new characteristics of interest to agroecology and contribute to the design of more sustainable agricultural systems.

Five new projects have joined the AgroEcoNum programme!

Discover the successful applicants from the second and final call for proposals under the Agroecology and Digital Technology research programme. With the addition of five new projects, the programme now comprises a total of 23 research and infrastructure projects. These projects will strengthen and complement the expertise already present within the programme.

On 6 February 2026, against the magnificent backdrop of the Couvent des Jacobins in Rennes, the annual conference of the PEPR Agroecology and Digital Technology brought together around a hundred people (research organisations, universities, schools, the National Research Agency, the Ministry of Agriculture, and socio-economic partners).

On Thursday, 26 February 2026, during the International Agricultural Show, the PEPR Agroecology and Digital Technology programme took part in the meeting entitled ‘Artificial intelligence: what transformative potential for agriculture?’ at the INRAE stand.

On 8 January 2026 in Rennes, the scientific community of the WAIT4 project ‘Artificial intelligence and new technologies to assess relevant welfare indicators for animals facing the challenges of agroecological transition’ met for a day of rich discussion and sharing, marking three years of scientific progress since its launch.
