METRAL Raphaël

Presentation

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 ?

Scientific exchanges on system approach (especially on perenial crops)
