The use of chemical pesticides is a major societal concern due to their negative impact on the environment and health. The French Priority Research Programme "Growing and Protecting Crops Differently", led by INRAE, has a structuring role in the evolution of scientific communities and in the emergence of scientific fronts enabling pesticide-free crop protection. The aim of this book is to explain the foundations of this strategy and the principles for action. On a course to pesticide-free agriculture, research is attempting to overcome current obstacles and produce breakthrough innovations in the biotechnical and socio-economic fields.

In addition to research, teaching and the agricultural sector, this book also targets actors in innovation, development and advisory services.

Read the foreword from Philippe Mauguin, CEO of INRAE (Institut National de Recherche pour l’Agriculture,l’Alimentation et l’Environnement — French national institute for researchon agriculture, food and the environment)
