Technologies and information systems for agrosystems unit

Clermont Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Center

The “Technologies and Information Systems for Agrosystems - Clermont-Ferrand” (TSCF) research unit brings together over 60 staff members and is located at two sites: the Pôle Scientifique et Universitaire des Cézeaux in Aubière (63) and the Montoldre Research and Experimentation Site (03). Its activities fall under INRAE's MathNum and AgroEcoSystem departments.

Within the framework of agroecology, the research laboratory utilizes engineering sciences and information and communication sciences and technologies to conduct research on methods and tools for agro-environmental systems engineering.

It also carries out research, expertise, and testing activities in the field of safety and performance of agricultural equipment to contribute to the improvement of agricultural safety and the reduction of agricultural pollution.

Through its technological research, it provides concrete answers to the needs of ecologically responsible productive agriculture and environmental management. The unit is a member of the Plant2Pro Carnot Institute and the CAP 20-25 I-SITE.
