Since January 2019, a new European Union decree limits the amount of cadmium (heavy metal) authorized in chocolate products. The countries of the Andean region, already impacted by climate change, are, by the nature of their cadmium-rich soils, particularly concerned by this new legislation. The ambitions of this project are the identification, development and scaling up of solutions combining genetics, soil sciences and socio-economics to reduce the amount of cadmium in market cocoa, whose production has been strongly encouraged. by governments as a strategy to reduce rural poverty and / or drug-related conflicts.

CRB-PT : Centre de Ressources Biologiques : Plantes Tropicales
Avec ses cinq collections de ressources génétiques (banane, canne à sucre, Igname, mangue et ananas), le CRB PT est identifié comme un outil commun au service de la recherche et du développement agricole. Il joue de plus un rôle important pour la conservation de la biodiversité, l'amélioration des productions et la diversification de l'agriculture aux Antilles et en milieu tropical.

Scarcer water availability and sea level rise are some of the climate change effects that clearly contribute to the salinization of the river deltas, where rice is grown in Europe. Most rice varieties are severely injured by abiotic stresses caused by salinization, with a strong impact on rice production. In addition, the Ebro river delta, in Spain, is affected by the Apple Snail pest which is destroying rice seedlings and against which the recommended sea water treatment contributes to an increase in soil salinity.

EVENTS: Endogenous viral elements: role in virus evolution and functions in plants
This project aims to investigate both the positive and negative impacts of endogenous viral elements (EVEs) on plant metabolism, and to reconstruct accurate time-scaled evolutionary histories of entire viral lineages across unprecedented time-spans

CAVALBIO: Caracterisation and valorisation of tropical crop diversity
Cavalbio contributes to the development of sustainable yams and citrus sectors, by creating innovative plant material adapted to regional issues. It aims to optimize breeding strategies based on the mobilization of biodiversity. The analysis of the acceptance of varietal or technical innovations by producers completes the project
