I am an agronomist. Currently, at Institut Agro Montpellier, I serve as a project manager in viticultural agrosystem engineering, with responsibilities in research, experimentation, and pedagogical support for training programs.I am affiliated with the joint research unit ABSys (Diversified Agrosystems), which focuses on the design, functioning, and performance of diversified, multispecies cropping systems based on perennial plants in southern regions, particularly in Mediterranean and tropical zones.
My research activities center on the diversification of agrosystems, organized around three main themes: (1) Designing innovative, low-input, diversified viticultural systems (e.g., agroforestry), (2) Experimenting with these systems, (3) Evaluating their performance and the ecosystem services they provide.
What I can bring to this network ?
Methods, approaches and discussion on farming system design on perenials crops (grapevine) and multicriteria assessment.What I seek in this network ?

Presentation
My research combines crop modeling with participatory, on-farm approaches to understand how crops grow and develop within their environment. I analyze G×E×M interactions (Genotype × Environment × Management) to develop models and tools, while increasingly co-designing solutions directly with farmers through on-farm trials, Living Lab approaches, and participatory modelling, particularly in cereal-based systems. I started my career in ecology, continued through a PhD in crop modeling, and joined CIRAD in 2012, where I've worked on cropping systems diversification, first on sorghum-based systems in West Africa, and now on rice-based systems in Southeast Asia.What I can bring to this network ?
I can contribute cross-regional field experience and crop modelling expertise, with a particular focus on participatory approaches, using serious games alongside crop models, and adapting these models as co-design tools with farmers.What I seek in this network ?
I'm looking to stay in touch with the community and share experiences, learning from others' approaches while contributing my own.Prager Katrin
