This initiative is a major step towards structuring an international research community devoted to digital agriculture, a key part of the agroecological transition and sustainable food systems.Thu, 16 Apr 2026 11:28:24 +0200https://www.cirad.fr/en/press-area/press-releases/2026/coconut-in-the-light-of-climate-changeCoconut water, virgin oil for cooking or cosmetics, sugar, and so on… coconut has many uses, and global demand is growing constantly. However, production has changed little and the value chain faces a range of challenges such as ageing plantations and climate change. CIRAD has substantial research operations on the value chain and has launched a roadmap with three ambitions to support it over the coming decade.Tue, 14 Apr 2026 11:28:17 +0200https://www.cirad.fr/en/press-area/press-releases/2026/one-health-one-science-scientific-symposium-recommendationsUnder the umbrella of the One Health Summit, the One Health, One Science scientific symposium was held in Lyon on 6 April and served to draft recommendations for effective implementation of the One Health (OH) approach. The summit as a whole has been an opportunity for the scientific community to explain how integrated, collective and transformative action is the only way of ensuring that we can anticipate, prevent and respond effectively to constantly changing health crises in an increasingly interconnected world.Tue, 07 Apr 2026 11:01:17 +0200https://www.cirad.fr/en/press-area/press-releases/2026/cirad-at-the-one-health-summitThe One Health Summit, co-presided by France and Indonesia, will be held in Lyon (France) from 5 to 7 April 2026. CIRAD, along with ANSES, is helping to organise a scientific symposium, One Health, One Science, coordinated by the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Space. From this scientific symposium to the high-level segment for Heads of State, through a village aimed at the general public and an international festival, the summit is intended to speed up the rollout of One Health approaches worldwide. CIRAD researchers are actively involved.Mon, 30 Mar 2026 15:08:37 +0200https://www.cirad.fr/en/press-area/press-releases/2026/meta-analysis-intercropping-for-food-securityA wide-ranging meta-analysis based on data from 60 countries, conducted by scientists from CIRAD and published in the journal Nature Sustainable Agriculture, demonstrates the untapped potential of intercropping. This cropping practice could well be a major lever for boosting food security worldwide, against a backdrop of growing land use and climate constraints.Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:24:37 +0100
