As part of the official French EU Presidency programme, the French Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE) and his partners the French National Research Programme Growing and Protecting Crops Differently (Cultiver et Protéger Autrement) and the European Research Alliance “Towards a Chemical Pesticide-Free agriculture” are organising an European Scientific Conference which will take place on 2-3 June 2022 in Dijon (East of France).

The conference will provide a state of play of the scientific production and of the science fronts that the European research must explore in order to break away from the current food system known to be heavily dependent on chemical pesticides. The major goal is to contribute to respond to the ambitious pesticide reduction objective of the European Green Deal.

The conference will take place in Dijon over two days. It will combine plenary and parallel sessions with presentation of scientific work by researchers from different European countries, discussions between researchers and professionals, field and infrastructures visits and a science-society meeting. English will be the speaking language.

Four scientific fields will be covered during the plenary and parallel sessions:

• Bio-inspired management of Crop Health
• Genetics and breeding of new cultivars for new services
• Cropping system and agrotechnology
• Agri-food system transformation and societal adoption.
