  • A workshop on the Effialim project with Didier Boichard and Rachel Lefebvre (GABI): presentation of the project, results obtained over the last few years, questions/answers on animal genetics, evolution of the protocol over the coming years...
  • A workshop on the interest of grasslands for biodiversity with Sylvain Foray (Idele) and Servane Lavenant (EVA): presentation of the results obtained following the observations (Biotex diagnosis) carried out in our grasslands, on the fauna and flora present...

We let you discover all this in pictures, with also the interview made by France 3 of Jean-Louis Peyraud on the meadows, followed by the presentation of Le Pin unit by Frédéric Launay.
