ANTICIPaTE & INNOVaTe In 2024, VIVESCIA and UniLaSalle launched the research chair “Resilient farms, beneficial for the climate and biodiversity,” in partnership with INRAE and as part of the TRANSITIONS program. The objective was to address the challenges of the agroecological and low-carbon transition through research and innovation. Three main areas structure the work currently underway: • Biodiversity : studying the impact of landscape fea- tures (hedgerows, ponds, plots, etc.) on biodiversity, using satellite data and AI tools. A landscape-scale characterization tool is currently under develop- ment. • Climate adaptation : five-year varietal trials on wheat, barley, and rapeseed to identify the varieties best suited to future climatic conditions. • GHG reduction : identifying agroecological prac- tices to improve the carbon footprint of cropping systems. In September 2025, VIVESCIA provided support to the NEOMA Foundation as part of the development of the “Bioeconomy and Sustainable Development” Chair, through work linked to data and the TRANSITIONS program. An official signing took place in late November 2025. Developed by NEOMA Business School, the mission of this Chair is to support the ecological transition of companies and territories, notably through the bioeconomy. To achieve this, the Chair conducts research in economics and management of the ecological transition, closely aligned with the concerns of socio- economic stakeholders.
