Terres Inovia

Terres Inovia is a French technical and applied research institute dedicated to oilseed crops, protein crops, and hemp, with a strong focus on promoting sustainable agricultural practices throughout these sectors. Headquartered in Paris, the institute conducts agronomic research, field experiments, and advisory programs aimed at helping farmers improve soil health, optimize crop rotations, enhance biodiversity, and reduce the environmental impact of their operations. Terres Inovia works across the entire value chain, from plant breeding and agronomy to crop protection and post-harvest quality. The institute collaborates with farmers, cooperatives, seed companies, and research organizations to ensure that its findings are rapidly translated into practical tools and recommendations. Terres Inovia plays a central role in supporting the transition to agroecological farming systems in France, providing expertise on integrated crop management, reduced pesticide use, cover cropping, and the role of leguminous crops in improving soil nitrogen cycling. The organization also contributes to European research programs and publishes scientific and technical resources widely used by agronomists and crop advisors. As a member of the Terres Univia group, Terres Inovia operates at the intersection of agricultural research, economic sustainability, and environmental responsibility.
