Jean-Louis Peyraud is an agronomist and holds a PhDr degree from the National School of Agronomy (ENSA) in Rennes. As a researcher at INRAE, he developed work on dairy cow feeding, grass-based milk production, and then on the relationships between dairy farming and the environment. He gained international recognition, particularly through his work on grazing. He has been involved in several European projects and coordinated one. This project was recognized as a “success story” by the European Union and received the “Lauriers de l’Europe” (“European Laurels”) award from the Ministry of Research. His research work has led him to supervise 21 theses and has resulted in 150 scientific publications, numerous technical publications, and many invited talks at international conferences.
At INRAE, he created and then led a Joint Research Unit on dairy production, and later became deputy scientific director for agriculture, in charge of livestock research. He coordinated a collective scientific assessment on nitrogen flows in animal production systems and led a prospective initiative reflecting on the research to be conducted for the livestock systems of the future. He produced a report on the future of livestock farming for the European Commission (DG Agri, 2020). Deeply involved in organizing research and development activities with industry partners, he led for eight years the UMT (Unité Mixte de Technologie = Joint Technology Unit): “Research and Engineering in Dairy Farming” formed between INRA and the French Livestock Institute (Idele). He was president of the GIS (Groupement d’Intérêt Scientifique = French Scientific Interest Group) “Avenir Elevages,” which brings together all the stakeholders in research, development, and training for the French animal production sectors, and he was president of the Animal Task Force, a European public-private partnership platform, and is a member of the SCAR group on animal production systems. He is a member of the Livestock section of the French Academy of Agriculture and an Officer of the Order of Agricultural Merit.
Béatrice Marie-Le-Gall is an Agricultural Engineer.
She joined Nestlé France in 1990 as Engineering Project Manager for the implementation of new production lines (confectionery, breakfast cereals, etc.) in our factories.
In 2000, she moved to Nestlé Packaging Purchasing France, then in 2003 to Purchasing Europe for raw materials.
In 2013, she returned to the French market as Purchasing Director for Nestlé France.
Since 2021, she is in charge of developing the Regenerative Agriculture and Low Carbon initiatives for Nestlé France with the creation of a pole of agronomists, focused on upstream agriculture (field crops, agroforestry, milk) for the supply of our 14 factories in France.
Antonella Succurro has a PhD in particle physics and worked for several years at the intersection between biology, computational modeling and data science. Her research spanned topics such as metabolic modeling of microbial communities and understanding plant-microbe interactions through bioinformatics approaches. Since October 2023 she is full-time co-founder and CTO of CinSOIL GmbH, a startup developing deeptech services to monitor and improve carbon sequestration in soil leveraging the power of Earth Observation, AI, data science and process-based models. She currently co-chairs the focus group “Earth observation for the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon farming” of the EU Project CREDIBLE, and teaches a master module on “Carbon sequestration and the contribution of the agri-food sector” at the University of Pavia, Italy, for the international master on agrifood sustainability.
Adrien Guichaoua is the Head of the France Office at Reframe.food. He holds a degree in Policy Science from IEP Rennes and is an expert in innovation policies, innovation funding, social sciences, networking, and learning mechanisms in the agri-food sector. He was Director of European Affairs at ACTA from 2012 to 2024. He has played a key role in the implementation of the EIP-AGRI initiative, “Productive and Sustainable Agriculture,” in France and Europe. He served as the Scientific Coordinator of the NEFERTITI H2020 project, Chairman of the SCAR (Standing Committee on Agricultural Research) Strategic Working Group on Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS) from 2016 to 2019, National Contact Point for Horizon 2020 Societal Challenge 2 from 2014 to 2019, and a board member of EURAGRI from 2021 to 2024. Over the past 15 years, he has managed more than 100 large-scale, cross-sectoral projects in France and Europe. He has also developed EU funding proposals that promote social, environmental, and economic innovation in the agri-food sector.
