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.
