French agriculture in New Aquitaine: from the field to the laboratory and vice versa
University of Bordeaux
This online Bordeaux Summer School, organized by the University of Bordeaux and the French National Institute for Agronomy and Environment (INRAe), provides participants with scientific insight regarding French agricultural challenges vis à vis environmental issues such as climate change and food safety. It is open to first and second year Master students with a background in biology. During the two week session, students learn in a variety of ways thanks to: practical sessions; experiences of agricultural reality; exchanges with pioneering scientists in the fields of life sciences and agriculture. The program aims to decipher the strategies that have been developed to identify and exploit stress responses and to manage the growing practices that tackle abiotic and biotic stress. Course content will focus on major challenges encountered by the agricultural industry, such as confronting climate change and maintaining both the yield and quality of agro-food productions. A variety of crops will be studied, such as tomatoes, strawberries, grapevines, carrots, leeks, pine and oak trees.
