2 The IAR Cluster : Why Champagne- Ardenne & Picardie? Its agricultural land Paris Brussels Picardie & Champagne- Ardenne 3 million ha Major producer of Wheat, Rapeseed, Sugar bee Barley, Potatoes... 1 st French producer of Sugar beet, Barley, Potatoes, Protein s crop, Alfalfa, Hemp... Its agro- industries 22.5 billion turnover (IAR s agro- industries members) 2.5 billion investment in France in five years jobs. Its history 25 years of active policy in favor of Bioeconomy

3 A world class cluster dedicated to Biobased products and Biorefinery oa Network of companies, education centers, public and private R&D units, on an identified territory oto support innovation by developing products and technologies, partnerships and creating a favorable environment for innovation oon a given topic: biomass valorisation within the Biorefinery concept

4 IAR Members cover the whole value chain : from land to end- users End- Use Applications 299 members : 47 % of SMEs 15 % of Industrial Group 16 % of technical centers, engineer schools & universities 22% others Plant Biomass Total R&I budget: 1.4 bn

5 The Strategic Axis 4 Strategic Axis 2 Strategic & Transversal Axis Biomaterials Bioplastics, Biocomposites, Advanced Biofuels 2G & 3G biofuels, biogas, Biomass Resource Skills & training Bioingredients Feed & Food ingredients, dietary supplements Biochemicals Chemical intermediates, biopolymers, biosolvents, biosurfactants, biolubricants, fine chemicals,

11 «Biorefineries, Agriculture and Territories?». Contemporary Scholars Conference 2015 Nuffield Fundation «Farming ahead : towards an innovative and dynamic agricultural sector?» Tuesday, the 3 rd of March Reims / France Ghislain Gosse Chairman of Agro-Transfert Ressources et Territoires

12 AGENDA 1. Biomass Resource : Cornerstone of the IAR Cluster 2. The Resource Commission : an original thinktank 3. Main ideas 4. Drivers for the developement of a new way of thinking agriculture and resource mobilisation 5. Scenarii and Lines of thinking 6. Benefits and limitations 7. Solutions for the IAR Area

13 1. Biomass resource : cornerstone of the IAR Cluster Nota bene : IAR Members cover the whole value chain 4 Strategic Axis 2 Strategic & Transversal Axis Biomaterials Bioplastics, Biocomposites, Advanced Biofuels 2G & 3G biofuels, biogas, Biomass Resource Skills & training Bioingredients Feed & Food ingredients, dietary Biochemicals Chemical intermediates, biopolymers, supplements biosolvents, biosurfactants, biolubricants, fine chemicals,

14 2. The Resource Commission : an original thinktank Original organisation which main activity consists in 1. sharing reflections and proposing the strategic directions of the IAR Cluster for the agricultural and forestry resources in the socio- economical and pedo- climatic local situation (Northern France); 2. Setting up R&I collaborative projects; 3. Promoting & disseminating of ended projects. Resource commission Members IAR Cluster, Agro Transfert Ressources et Territoires, INRA, AgroParis Tech, Arvalis, Coopénergie et FRCA Picardie, Chambre régionale d Agriculture Picardie, Chambre régionale d Agriculture de Champagne- Ardenne,

15 3. Main Ideas 1. Food and Non Food Resources are fully combining and completing themselves, at each level : farms, local territories, biorefineries. 2. Our goal : founding solutions to perform the double competitiveness of Our Agriculture = Economical & Environmental Sustainability

16 4. Drivers for the developement of a new way of thinking agriculture and resource mobilisation 1. Legislation & european directives applications Ecophyto 2018 Local action program on nitrates levels Reduction of the registered active ingredients in agriculture 2. Scientific support : The scientific report about Agro- Ecology signed by Marion Guillou in Practical & economical drivers : Winter crops yields stagnating (cereals, rapeseed) Increase of the pathogens and weeds resistance to plant protection products The narrow economic margins available to farmers inducing : the increasing size of farms & the increasing prices of nitrogenous fertilisers

17 5. Scenarii and Lines of thinking 3 principles : 1. Biology and Soil at the heart of agronomy 2. Land management according to functional areas 3. Temporal intensification of agricultural systems Introduction of perennial crops Introduction of intermediate crops between main crops Introduction of combined crops Increasing the soil return of organic matter and improve soil structure Reducing soil tillage Reducing soil water waste, by an organic mulching, for example Intensify the use of leguminous crops in crop rotation

18 6. Benefits and Limitations Benefits Enhance the resilience of the agricultural systems Increase the yields/ surface unit Improve on long terme the production potential of a territory Improve the production tool rather than the immediate margin Leguminous crops reduce nitrogenous fertiliser needs Limitations The water needs in limiting conditions The biomass exportation leeds to massive nitrogen export recycling the nitrogen part of the industrial effluents Teach farmers the new way of producing Develop new way of work organisation

19 7. Solutions for the IAR Cluster Area: Agriculture linked to territorial biorefineries through: 1. Agronomic open innovation platforms with innovative crops systems: Ferme 112 Champagne Ardenne Ferme 3.0 Picardie Lasalle Beauvais Project 2. The IAR Sites Network A network for the diffusion and dissemination of the results & knowledge, for the training of farmers
