Présentation

Le LR21AGR02 est issu de la fusion de UR13AGR05 et UR13AGR08, créées en 2013 à ISA Chott-Mariem. En effet, la dégradation des agrosystèmes, la perte de la biodiversité et sa faible valorisation sont des défis auxquels est confronté notre pays. La sauvegarde et la valorisation rationnelle de l’agrobiodiversité est dépendante de la gestion raisonnée de la pollution et de la toxicité environnementale. Notre LR se considère particulièrement compétent dans les domaines de la gestion de la biodiversité, de la conservation et la valorisation des produits et des agrosystèmes et de l’éco-toxicologie. Pour répondre aux objectifs scientifiques fixés, nous mettons en application la multidisciplinarité de l’équipe de recherche. La synthèse des informations concernant les interactions entre différentes composantes des agrosystèmes terrestres, littoraux et aquatiques permettra d’élaborer une nouvelle vision environnementale et de proposer des modèles de gestion appropriés.
