Ethnographie de la mise à l’agenda scientifique de l’agroécologie dans un laboratoire de génétique végétale
Since the late 2000s, the term “agroecology” has been gaining ground in agronomic research organizations (INRAE, CIRAD), in calls for research projects and in scientific publications. Plant genetics is no exception to this trend, but the appropriation of agroecology has been taking place more slowly...

| description | Since the late 2000s, the term “agroecology” has been gaining ground in agronomic research organizations (INRAE, CIRAD), in calls for research projects and in scientific publications. Plant genetics is no exception to this trend, but the appropriation of agroecology has been taking place more slowly and with greater difficulty in this field than in the rest of agronomic research. This article proposes a bottom-up approach to understand the impacts of the agroecology injunction on plant genetics, based on a survey of a French research unit whose main supervisory body is CIRAD, a research and development organization focused on the Global South. The aim is to retrace how the term was put on the agenda within CIRAD and the surveyed laboratory, then to describe the various conceptions of agroecology present in the unit - echoing a diversity of epistemic commitments - before analyzing the driving forces behind scientists' appropriation of these conceptions. The survey reveals the existence of three interpretations of agroecology within the laboratory, which give rise to differentiated appropriations and credibility-building strategies on the part of those who defend them. |
