French vineyards, which play a key economic and cultural role, are highly exposed to climate risks and market shifts, rendering their ability to adapt both complex and uncertain. The COOPIX project aims to assess this impact, while strengthening partnerships with cooperatives and proposing a conceptual framework to analyze their vulnerabilities and adaptive capacities. To achieve this, it combines data analysis, field monitoring, and the development of tools designed to support decision-making when faced with multiple risks.

Confronted with major environmental challenges, dairy cattle breeding farms must adapt their practices without sacrificing productivity or ecosystem services. This project aims to statistically model the interactions between production performance, environmental impacts, and provided services, taking into account climatic and economic variations as well as the diversity of livestock farming systems.

The ability of forests to provide a wide range of ecosystem services is being challenged in the current context of climate change, which involves an increase in interlocking regimes of natural and human-induced disturbances

To limit the negative impacts of the specialization of agricultural systems and the intensification of practices, studies are being carried out on the reconnection between animal and plant production on a territorial scale.

Agricultural and food systems (AFS) are being challenged with increasing climate risks, declining biodiversity (resulting in multiple biotic hazards), and the redefinition of relationships between human and non-human societies in a context of heightened health risks

In France, 2022 was marked by an exceptional drought, followed by severe low-water levels in rivers starting in spring, and major forest fires in areas not usually affected in summer.

The concept of risk has different meanings, and has led to a renewed need for glossaries. Recently, a multitude of new terms has accompanied the emergence of multiple risks, and yet the question of whether risk and multi-risk(s) are really different – or even necessary – concepts has not been settled.

Agricultural issues are particularly affected by climate change, but also by other societal and economic changes (changing consumer demand, environmental standards, changing input costs), requiring adaptation, transition and even transformation.

The management of a health risk (whether pandemic, epizootic or epiphytic) reveals, at the level of the actors involved in these situations, a complex world made up of multiple, closely interrelated risks, whether health-related (e.g. the impact of the Covid crisis on the management of other risks) or not (loss of markets, biodiversity, organizational and political risks, etc.).
