Presentation

I am a research engineer with a background in agronomy and complex systems approaches, working at the science–policy interface, mainly at the European level.
My work focuses on the sustainability of agri-food systems and their transformation over time and across different scales, notably considering ecological, social, and technical dimensions. I have worked on topics such as the climate–food nexus, climate change adaptation in agriculture and coastal areas, livestock system transitions, and reducing the use of chemical pesticides.
Currently, I focus on applying foresight approaches to explore pathways toward more sustainable systems and the trajectories needed to achieve them.
Convinced that meaningful transformation requires thinking and acting within complexity, I am also actively involved in a French association of pioneering farmers in conservation organic agriculture.

What I can bring to this network ?

Together with Lise Paresys, we can connect the community with our colleagues, activities and analyses at INRAE’s Directorate for Expertise, Foresight and Advanced Studies (DEPE) in France.

What I seek in this network ?

Looking to join a collective dynamic and a peer-to-peer space dedicated to systemic approaches. Particular interest in sharing transdisciplinary tools and methods, gaining inspiration from emerging frameworks and new ways of thinking, and exchanging case studies and practical experiences in a spirit of continuous learning.
Aiming to deepen and consolidate key aspects of systems thinking, including how to navigate uncertainty, integrate diverse forms of knowledge, and strengthen engagement and dialogue with society and policymakers.
