New tools for measuring agroecological indicators in plants and animals

The PEPR Agroecology and Digital Technology program is funding several infrastructure projects to accelerate the agroecological transition. Among them, two flagship projects are exploring new ways of observing living organisms: PATASEL, dedicated to animals, and AgroEcoPhen, dedicated to plants. Their shared ambition is to identify new characteristics of interest to agroecology and contribute to the design of more sustainable agricultural systems.

Berl’Eyes: a tool for quickly detecting and quantifying rapeseed flea beetle larvae using a smartphone

Terres Inovia, with support from the AgroEcoPhen project under the PEPR Agroecology and Digital Initiative, will launch the Berl’Eyes tool in May 2026, which automatically counts rapeseed flea beetle larvae using a single photo. Using artificial intelligence, this tool simplifies a counting method that was previously time-consuming and tedious, and addresses a major challenge for the oilseed and protein crop sector.

The PEPR AgroEcoNum’s participation in Trans Numériques 2026, held from February 2 to 5, 2026, in Rennes, provided an opportunity to interview the program’s scientists.

From 2 to 5 February 2026, Rennes hosted the first edition of Trans Numériques, a scientific conference that brought together the communities of 13 research programmes supported by the France 2030 plan to explore the challenges of the digital continuum: performance, robustness, security, resource efficiency and societal impact. The event attracted over 1,000 participants.

Discover the successful applicants from the second and final call for proposals under the Agroecology and Digital Technology research programme. With the addition of five new projects, the programme now comprises 23 research and infrastructure projects, each funded for five years with a budget of between €1 million and €3 million. These projects serve to strengthen and complement the scientific themes supported by the programme and the associated expertise.
