 Hi, my name is Germain and I'm from France. The challenge that motivates me every day is how we can adapt our crops to changing environments and more sustainable production practices. As a postdoc researcher, I'm trying to use our knowledge of ecosystem functioning and species evolution in the wild to design innovative and sustainable cropping systems. I call upon other colleagues, researchers, agronomists to go for such interdisciplinary approaches because I strongly believe that the ABR grid promises to address the future challenges of agriculture.
