Sustainability of food systems requires a radical shift towards plant-based protein sources. However, implementing this change in dietary practice is hampered by the low acceptance of non-meat sources. Understanding what makes certain ‘swaps’ in protein source acceptable while others are not is a critical step towards making dietary choices more sustainable. Eating behaviour is highly complex and is determined by the interaction of many disparate factors (genetic, metabolic, physiological, hedonic, anthropological, psychological and sociological). The impact of many of these fields is limited as expertise is contained within single discipline 'silos'. Thus, to be fully effective in changing dietary habits, it is necessary to train a new generation of researchers with scientific expertise in the fields of nutrition and eating behaviour as well as skills in novel data science methods that allow analysis of complex systems. The objective of SWAPS is to actively shape a sustainable food system by equipping a new generation of scientists with appropriate knowledge and skills. The scientific focus of the training-through-research conducted in SWAPS will be the use of data science and predictive artificial intelligence methods to analyse acceptability of consumption changes that lead to sustainable choices of protein source. This approach has huge potential to produce state-of-the-art complex system approaches to nutrition and behaviour change. Currently, this field is completely unexplored. This multi-faceted approach to sustainable food systems is necessary in the food sector for the development of new products and services and for the establishment of sustainable and effective public nutrition policies. SWAPS will be conducted by a group of leading academic institutions and integrates an international industrial partner and key players in collective catering. The SWAPS network proposal will apply to a European Joint Doctoral (EJD) Programme of the ITN (Innovative Training Network) call from Horizon Europe Programme. SWAPS network needs (i) to be strengthened and to gain external visibility and (ii) will greatly benefit from external reviewers. The main use of the resources supported by the MRSEI will thus be the scientific animation of the network in order to strengthen the consortium with relevant partners and the request of external reviews for building a strong proposal with high odds of success.

The aim MASCOTE program is to evaluate the collectives and individual strategies of collection firms to ensure co-existence between GM and non GM production. This evaluation is made using two kind of criterions: collection cost and the ratio of GM in the non GM production collected. The model proposed calculates the localisation of GM fields taking into account farmer economics and agronomics variables in different scenarios of collection governance. These scenarios are based on an analysis of (i) the determinant of the collection firms collectives strategies and (ii) the collection organisation. A link with the MAPOD model allow to evaluate these territorial and organisational configuration with the ratio of GM in non-GM batches.

Since 1992, the CAP is progressing towards deregulation of agricultural markets and substitution of agricultural price support by direct payments. Criticized for its cost, for its negative environmental balance, for the concentration of supports toward a minority of farms characterised by higher incomes, for its inability to face markets fluctuations, the CAP is jeopardized. The production models increasingly intensive, specialized and simplified and the consequently continual restructuring of farming sector, are both phenomenon also questioned. The legitimacy of the CAP regarding to its future goals and resources therefore concentrates current debates. Among the changes being considered, orienting farming systems toward the production of public goods that meet societal expectations seems to gather more and more stakeholders point of views. This perspective then raises a debate on CAP after 2013, in order to develop the best forms of support for the production of public goods by agriculture. In this context, this project consist in : 1) Deepening the concept of public goods provided by agriculture and the different conceptions of this notion 2) Assessing the role of various European farming systems in the provision of public goods 3) Analyzing the inclusion of public goods in the perpectives developped in the agricultural policies and by actors involved in the discussions on the CAP after 2013 4) Analyzing the prospects of European farm based perspectives of European agricultural policies and the role of public goods chosen. The strength of the project is to carry such an evaluation successively within different political frames, in order to put in evidence which type of farming systems would be promoted when trying to maximise public goods provision. This project aims to deepen the concept of public goods provided by agriculture in a broad sense, encompassing environmental and social dimensions (employment, income, participation in rural development ...). The project couples two research fields in an original way, the first one referring to an "expanded" political economy where economic phenomena are embedded in social and environmental phenomena. It is an institutionalist economics, focusing on institutional change (here agricultural policies) understood as keys to perceive economic life, and on the factors of emergence of those changes. The second disciplinary field refers to a holistic approach to farming systems involving sociology, agricultural systems and management science, and an approach to evaluation of public goods provided by these operating systems . This assessment is based quantitative indicators worked out for the evaluation of public goods production at the farm level. These two disciplines both refer to a hybrid method, quantitative (statistical analysis) and qualitative (eg interviews with actors). Another ambitious element of the project consists in the international comparisons of first farming systems, and second of European and domestic policy debates regarding to agriculture, including countries representing the diversity of situations in Europe (East, West and South). The project BipPop relies on the experience of the three major project partners in terms of interdisciplinarity and European Comparison of operating systems and agricultural policies.

This research program aims to analyse the growing role of non state actors in global environmental governance politics. We intend to give an account of the privatization of global environmental governance through the monitoring of transnational multi-stakeholders initiatives for social and environmental regulation. These multi stakeholders initiatives have proliferated during these recent 10 years . Number of them have been institutionalized, following the example of forest certification FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), certification of the good practices halieutics (Marine Stewardship Council), standards of the organic farming carried by the IFOAM (International Federation off Organic Agriculture Movement… Most narratives on their rise and proliferation stress on the driving role of the multinational firms through blame avoidance strategy on one side; or on the increasing political weight of the social movements, which fight to embbed justice and environmental concerns civil society into global market. Our research aims to explore another explanatory framework, starting from the following assumptions: the rise of the devices of standardization hightlight the extension and the dissemination of market rationalities in the field of the environmental policies; in addition this neoliberal rationality is diffused by a managerial elite, composed of TNC, NGO and experts. To check these assumptions, the program declines 3 scientific tasks (T2, T3, T4) narrowly articulated and a task of coordination This proposal for a research positions in the axis set of themes 1 of the call to project, and mobilize a multi-field collective of 13 researchers.
