The origin of C-BASC
The LabEx BASC
C-BASC builds on an eight-year (2012-2020) interdisciplinary research program, the BASC Laboratory of Excellence (Biodiversity, Agroecosystems, Society, Climate), funded by the French government under the Programme d'Investissement d'Avenir.
In addition to pursuing a stronger integration of disciplines to address key scientific and societal challenges, C-BASC strengthens research on the continuum of agricultural production, food processing, distribution and consumption. To this end, C-BASC has aggregated 2 laboratories (SayFood and PNCA) and has seen one of its laboratories expand (PSAE).
Results of the 2016-2020 projects
The results of the LabEx BASC projects are available, in the form of reports and videos accessible to all. The 2016-2020 projects are relayed on the home page of the LabEx website. They also appear below, identified by keywords and classified according to C-BASC axes (some projects actually straddle several axes.) The projects marked with an asterisk (*) have for field of experimentation / observation, the Plateau de Saclay. See also the publications of the LabEx in scientific journals.
