IMT Atlantique works with its research teams and in concrete actions to eliminate hunger, ensure food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
I. Sustainable Food
We contribute through our research to faced with the challenges associated with sustainably feeding the world’s growing population, the food industry is increasingly relying on operations research (OR) techniques to achieve economic, environmental and social sustainability.
II. Food Security
We analyze the oceans because they play a key role in global issues such as climate change, food security and human health. To meet the urgent, planet-wide challenges we face, methods across all aspects of ocean observing should be broadly adopted by the ocean community and, where appropriate, should evolve into «Ocean Best Practices.»
III. Anaerobic Digestion
The anaerobic digestion process is well studied and developed since the last 50 years, notably for farming implementation. Furthermore, the international energy agenda has shifted in favor of renewable resources. In this context, anaerobic digestion has been highlighted as a valuable source of green energy. This is where our research is headed.
