Scientific objectives and research project

The main objective of the LMI BIO-INCA is to promote the emergence of an operational research platform, specialized in the integrative study (from genomes to socio-ecosystems) of the natural and cultivated phytosystems of the Andean region (highlands and foothills). The research engendered by this structure is aimed at the interface between the basic and applied sciences, with the objective of proposing concrete solutions to the adaptive management of natural and cultivated phytosystems. This research is organized into four main scientific objectives: The main objective of the LMI BIO-INCA is to promote the emergence of an operational research platform, specialized in the integrative study (from genomes to socio-ecosystems) of the natural and cultivated phytosystems of the Andean region (highlands and foothills). The research engendered by this structure is aimed at the interface between the basic and applied sciences, with the objective of proposing concrete solutions to the adaptive management of natural and cultivated phytosystems. This research is organized into four main scientific objectives: 1 - the characterization of cultivated and wild biodiversity, : 2 - the study of biological interactions, : 3 - the study of ecosystem services and nature-based solutions, and: 4 - the development of innovative tools and training programs Dynamique des écosystèmes et des services écosystémiques Pratiques innovantes pour des écosystèmes productifs et résilients.
