| Abstract: | The Ministry of Agriculture, Food, Fisheries, Rural affairs and Spatial Planning (MAAPRAT) defines national policies in all these areas.
Each year the ministry dedicates more than 80M€ to fund national research programmes related to technical institutes in order to promote innovation in the sustainable use of resources (soils, water, etc.) for specific production chains and transformation processes.
In the forestry area, the Directorate of Forest and Wood (SDFB) in the General Directorate of Agriculture, Food and Rural Policies (DGPAAT) supports activities of the National Institute of Agricultural Research (INRA), among other institutes. It funds public research in many fields, such as:
Adapting forests to climate change.
Preserving and breeding programmes of forest genetic resources.
Developing geomatic tools for a better valuation of wood resources.
Developing innovative wood uses.
Preserving from risk (e.g. fire) and conservation of biodiversity.
Assessment of forest policies. |
