Following a call for projects launched by the ANR for the creation of a foresight workshop on "What plants will provide biomass in the future?", the project coordinated by INRA along with the IFP and CIRAD, "VégA: what plants and what sustainable production systems will provide biomass in the future?" was granted funding. The workshop, which is due to run for two years, within the framework of the ANR, will serve to establish a "state of the art" for direct use by public and private stakeholders, and will propose possible lines of research.
