A unique "grande école" to support agroecological, food and environmental transitions & transformations
In a context of global climate, ecological and food urgency - coumponded by health crises - higher education is a key to achieve agroecological, food, digital, climate, energy, economic, and social transitions and transformations.
Training of engineers, executives, researchers, experts and technicians, while delivering top-level research, is a powerful lever for driving change, raising awareness, engaging and supporting stakeholders.
L'Institut Agro was established by the French government as a leading new "grande école" to scale-up France's ability to respond major national and international challenges in the areas of food, agriculture and environmental issues.
We share a core of values that bring us together: integrity in the production and dissemination of knowledge, in our actions and partnerships, diversity and inclusion, social, cultural, and international open-mindedness, a fundamental commitment to sustainable development and an active engagement in European and international initiatives for ecological and climate transition.
Our ambition is to empower new generations of responsible, committed, creative, and entrepreneurial men and women, and to provide them with the adequate skills and tools to find solutions, design and implement new models to better feed the world while protecting the environment.
