BELLASSEN Valentin

Activity history: My initial training was in functional ecology. In particular, my PhD focused on the development of a forest management module within a global vegetation model. In parallel and subsequently, I became a specialist in climate economics, holding positions with the Environmental Defense Fund, the Papua New Guinea delegation to the United Nations (UNFCCC) and CDC Climat - a subsidiary of Caisse des Dépôts dedicated to carbon markets and other climate change mitigation policies. I continue to act as a UNFCCC accredited auditor for national greenhouse gas inventories and as an expert on land use policies for the European Union. Research interests: My research focuses on the economic and environmental impact of food production and consumption, with a particular interest in certified value chains (e.g. PDO, PGI, organic farming). I'm particularly interested in - The economic and environmental impact of food production: - The integration of carbon storage and land-use change into impact models and environmental labeling - The causal effect of certification (e.g. PDO, PGI, organic farming) - The uncertainty, costs and inefficiencies associated with control rules in carbon pricing mechanisms - Consumer behavior: - Incentives for consumers to improve the nutritional and environmental quality of their food - Consumer behavior towards certified food - The environmental and nutritional quality of collective catering (e.g. school canteens).

COMPAGNONE Claude

Presentation: I am Professor of Sociology at Institut Agro Dijon, where I teach the sociology of organizations, innovation, agricultural consulting and the greening of agriculture. I was Director of INRAE's UR Listo from 2011 to 2013 and Deputy Director General of AgroSup Dijon from 2015 to 2021. Since October 2021, I have been coordinating the Hercule 4.0 project (AMI DemoES), which focuses on the role of digital technology in training. This project brings together all the national public agronomic and veterinary higher education establishments that are members of the Agreenium Alliance. Since April 2024, I have also been coordinating the Agro Open Lab project (AMI CMA), which aims to enable learners to develop personal projects in Ateliers du Faire. This 5-year project relies on a mainly regional consortium of 22 partners. My research focuses more specifically on farmers' practices and agricultural consultancy. On the one hand, I'm interested in the changes farmers make to implement environmentally-friendly practices. In particular, they analyze how these changes are linked to the structure of the professional dialogue networks to which these farmers belong, and to the positions they occupy within these networks. On the other hand, this research deals with agricultural development organizations and the activities of the agents who work there. Attentive to the reconfigurations underway in the field of agricultural advice, they follow the organizational transformations of the Chambers of Agriculture, the emergence of advice from economic operators, and the reciprocal positioning of the various advisory players with farmers. In addition, they aim to show how advisors' activities take shape today, and how they experience them.

DERBEZ Floriane

Senior lecturer in sociology at the Institut Agro Dijon, co-director of the Master 1 agroecology program. My research focuses on the (agro)greening of agricultural practices and agri-food systems. I'm particularly interested in the collective dynamics of transition to agroecological practices (crop-livestock integration, implementation of practices conducive to biodiversity) from perspectives derived from the sociology of science and technology and the sociology of the environment/nature anthropology.

DEVILLE Clara

Presentation My research focuses on the withdrawal of public services from rural areas. I analyze the socio-political processes involved in transforming the territorial location of public services and their effects on the working classes. I wrote a thesis on the dematerialization of the RSA, which led me to analyze the ways in which the public problem of “non-recourse” is dealt with, and its inequitable effects on claimants. I'm continuing these analyses, exploring the production of inequalities in access to social rights. At the same time, I'm working on energy policies and home renovation as part of the ANR UNERGY (coordinated by Aude Lejeune and Camille Herlin-Giret: https://unergy.hypotheses.org/); and on “medical deserts” as part of a research project funded by the Bourgogne Franche-Comté Region.

DOIDY Eric

My research is based on empirical ethnographic surveys carried out in France and the United States; it develops three themes that address our relationship of inhabiting the world. Contemporary social movements and ordinary relationships with politics. These investigations were first conducted on issues relating to poor housing and urbanity, controversies involving nature, and agriculture and the dynamics of farmer involvement. From a pragmatic sociology perspective, the aim is to understand the links between ordinary experience and forms of public commitment. Back to the land. Observing the involvement of American farmers in post-September 11 peace movements and the reintegration, through agriculture, of veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), has enabled me to study the contribution of rural mobilizations to a social movement around care. I'm interested in how certain forms of investment in agricultural activity (such as care, therapy, social reintegration) and certain expectations of agriculture (attachment, personal fulfillment, sustainability, etc.) manifested in contemporary aspirations for a “return to the land” enable the expression of a renewed social critique. Rural cultures, popular classes and counterculture. In connection with the theme of the return to the land, I study the way in which rurality, nature and ecology are thematized in the counterculture of the 1960s-1970s. I'm also interested in the culture of the rural working classes, particularly in the American South. Research topics - Back to the land - Social movements - Health / post-traumatic stress - Culture, counter-culture, working classes - Pragmatic sociology, Ethics of Care

DUBOYS DE LABARRE Matthieu

I have been a lecturer in sociology at Agrosup Dijon since 2013. I am a researcher at the Centre d'Économie et de Sociologie appliquées à l'Agriculture et aux Espaces Ruraux (CESAER/UMR 1041 AgroSup Dijon, INRAE, Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté). Specialising in food, my recent research has focused on food aid, short distribution channels, “sustainable” food consumption and local food chains. Among other things, I'm looking at the concepts of food democracy, empowerment and transition. Qualitative methods, a sociology of uses and socio-political processes form the basis of my approach.

DUPRE Lucie

I am interested in the way in which the agricultural world is changing and redefining itself in terms of practices and discourse in the face of the uncertainties, hazards and tensions it has to deal with (deteriorating working conditions, demographic decline, strong economic pressures, difficulties in accessing land, scarcity and/or degradation of natural resources, climate hazards and global warming, erosion of biodiversity, etc.). I'm paying particular attention to non-standard farming systems that have been and still are difficult to classify in the agricultural arena, or that are seeking to develop outside the deadlocks associated with modernisation: pastoralism, organic market gardening and beekeeping. While each of the three areas I'm exploring has its own set of issues, I'm looking at them from relatively similar angles that are closely interlinked, enabling me to think about them together and in their own way. Commitment to work, the question of animal mobility, the way in which the relationship with natural resources plays a part in the construction of forms of “self-nomination” and the ways in which people enter the profession are just some of the issues that cut across these projects. Pastoralism: Here, it is the question of grazing, as a practice and as a space, that interests me: a practice that has long been disqualified by agricultural modernisation, because of the invisibility of the work on which it is based (designing grazing schedules, adjusting and anticipating animal movements, guarding) and a very unique technical relationship with nature. As part of the ANR Mouve programme, with my colleagues Jacques Lasseur and René Poccard-Chapuis, we have analysed a wide range of situations in the North and South in which grazing appears to be at the heart of major socio-anthropological and socio-economic issues: it “makes society”. In the Alpes de Haute-Provence, pastoral livestock farming is freeing itself from the land, grazing and social constraints of a particular place (the Alpine valley) to develop in areas of coastal plains, linked to other social constraints. This is in contrast to agro-pastoral farming based on diversification of agricultural activities, cereal growing and small herds. Are these pastoral changes likely to segment the professional world of livestock farming? In what way does the wider territorial scope of these pastoral farmers transform their place in the professional group and in the territories?

HELLEC Florence

Research Fellow in the Sociology of Livestock FarmingMy research focuses on the livestock farming sector, with a view to identifying its vulnerabilities and the innovation avenues that are helping it to make the transition to agro-ecology. My latest work focuses on technical innovation in the field of herd health and feed management (in particular the use of alternative medicines on the farm), through two levels of analysis: the work of the farmer in relation to his herd, and the role of agricultural socio-professional networks in the dissemination of new ways of rearing animals. I trained as an agricultural engineer and have a doctorate in the sociology of agriculture, so I am used to working in an interdisciplinary way with other social sciences and the agronomic and veterinary sciences. Before joining CESAER, I carried out research projects on the relationship between agriculture and territorial management of water quality, and on the individual and collective dynamics of conversion to organic farming.

HILAL Mohamed

With a PhD in Geography and Spatial Planning, I specialise in the study of the territorial dynamics of populations and activities, with a particular interest in rural and peri-urban areas. My research focuses on the location of populations and the role of urban and natural amenities in settlement patterns and the socio-spatial cohesion of territories. To gain a better understanding of these areas, I develop and implement relevant observation and analysis methods and tools. My expertise enables me to analyse the complex issues linked to socio-spatial dynamics, as well as their interactions with the natural environment. I have mastered the tools and methods needed to produce and analyse spatial data, identify trends and formulate strategic recommendations.

PETIT Sandrine

I have been a research engineer at INRAE (Institut national de recherche pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation et l'environnement) since 2006, specialising in the social geography of the environment and livestock farming. I work at the CESAER research laboratory (Centre d'économie et de sociologie appliquées à l'agriculture et aux espaces ruraux - UMR 1041) in Dijon (France). Since my thesis, I have been looking at the relationship between farmers and the environment, paying particular attention to the representations, practices and knowledge of farmers. I believe it is important to make this knowledge visible in a context where scientific knowledge and technical expertise take precedence. I studied the relationship between farmers (suckler cow system) and the preservation of water quality in Saône-et-Loire. I continued the investigation by looking at the knowledge that farmers develop to “work with” animals in increasingly large herds, in suckler cow and dairy farming in the Comté PDO zone. This knowledge is not inherited, but built up and renewed by today's working situations and farming conditions. While little is known about farmers' attachments to their animals, societal concerns about animal welfare and prescriptive injunctions are affecting the core and intimate aspects of the profession. A study of calf rearing practices, whether with the calf's nurse or with its mother, has shown the diversity of these relationships and the role played by emotions in day-to-day work. I looked at the environment and agricultural work from a climate change perspective. With colleagues from a variety of disciplines, we worked on the impact of climate change on water resources as part of the HYCCARE project (Hydrology, Climate Change, Adaptation, Water Resources in Burgundy; 2012-16). This project provided an opportunity to look at water management in shortage situations. The analysis carried out focused on the building of communities around climate change issues. We experimented with new participatory methodologies based on creativity. Bringing together local and global knowledge seems to us to be a way of reclaiming action at local level and acting without delay. Today, I'm looking at the impact of climate change on the work of livestock farmers (including their health and well-being at work) as part of the TRAVERSER project - Livestock work, trials and resources in the face of drought in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, which I'm co-coordinating (project funded by the MSA 2024-2025). Research themes - Situated knowledge (peasant, technical, scientific) - Practices, changes in practices and work - Animal husbandry - Climate change and water management - Action research.
