Description of equipment
The laboratory represents a hard-soft structure dedicated to research in agricultural sciences and food processing. In its "hard" part, the laboratory spans an area of 600 square meters, divided into six different spaces equipped with advanced analytical instrumentation for studies on biodiversity, ecosystem dynamics, and quality, ecotoxicology, sustainable animal and plant production, and soil fertility. In its "soft" part, the laboratory benefits from a range of expertise and modeling tools that allow for system analysis, scenario exploration, evaluation of optimal solutions, and decision support systems.
