Current Projects

FAST - Facilitate public Action to exit from pesticides

The FAST project has a budget of €3 million for the period from 2021 to 2026. https://anr.fr/ProjetIA-20-PCPA-0005 It aims to provide sound theoretical and empirical evidence of the effectiveness of a variety of public policies in triggering a large-scale transition to pesticide-free agriculture and to assess the socioeconomic consequences of such a radical change. The general objective of our project is to propose policy and organizational solutions—directly applicable by public decision-makers and stakeholders more broadly—whose effectiveness will have been evaluated using the most advanced techniques, including laboratory and field experiments, research-action approaches, and the use of large-scale simulation models.
