Sumari:The use of chemical pesticides is a major societal concern due to their negative impact on the environment and health. The French Priority Research Programme "Growing and Protecting Crops Differently", led by INRAE, has a structuring role in the evolution of scientific communities and in the emergence of scientific fronts enabling pesticide-free crop protection. The aim of this book is to explain the foundations of this strategy and the principles for action. On a course to pesticide-free agriculture, research is attempting to overcome current obstacles and produce breakthrough innovations in the biotechnical and socio-economic fields. In addition to research, teaching and the agricultural sector, this book also targets actors in innovation, development and advisory services.
