<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The LINDDA action-research project<\/strong> explores how design research can support the coupling of agroecology - a way of designing production systems that rely on the functionalities offered by ecosystems - and digital technology, and thus accelerate sustainable transitions. Among the issues addressed by the research team: collective decision-making in a transition context<\/strong>. Within this framework, and for the first time in France, a trial of a new collective decision-making tool was implemented to collectively guide research programming and use digital technology to support the agro-ecological transition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LINDDA research project: at the crossroads of digital technology, design and agroecology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, the Learning Planet Institute embarked on the LINDDA project (Living INfrastructure to Design responsible Digital technology for Agroecological transition<\/em>, or \u00abDesigning the living infrastructure for responsible digital technology in support of the agro-ecological transition\u00bb).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A PEPR research-action program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coordinated by Muriel Mambrini-Doudet<\/a> (Learning Planet Institute) and Annie Gentes<\/a> (CY design school<\/a> - CY Cergy Paris Universit\u00e9<\/a>, This action-research project is part of the \u00abAgroecology and Digital Technologies\u00bb Priority Research Program and Equipment (PEPR), co-sponsored by the French Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development and the French Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development.\u2019INRAE<\/a> and theInria<\/a>, and financed as part of the investment plan France 2030<\/a>. 65 million euros<\/a> are thus allocated to the agro-ecology and digital research<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty<\/a> is convinced that to accelerate the ecological transition of agricultural systems and meet the challenges of food security, climate and the environment, digital technology is a strategic lever. In addition, research and innovation are essential to mobilize digital technology in any transition, particularly in the agro-ecological transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interdisciplinarity and collaboration at the heart of the research program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

LINDDA explores the place and possible role of design<\/em> digital transitions<\/strong>. The aim of this project is to develop resources for design<\/em> and interdisciplinary research aimed at :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. provide tools for interdisciplinary work and the ability to link different scales of activity and policy,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. specify the properties of living infrastructures,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. specifying the added value of design<\/em> to develop a responsible digital farming<\/a>, responsible agriculture based on responsible digital methods (to find out more, see the INRAE white paper \u00abResponsible agriculture\").\u00ab Agriculture and digital<\/em><\/a> \u00bb).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    To meet these challenges, LINDDA illustrates the conviction of its designers that it is no longer necessary to work in silos, but rather to create new ones. bridges between research fields<\/strong>. LINDDA's research team includes experts in digital technology for agro-ecological transition (Inrae), holistic modeling (Inria), ergonomics (Cnam<\/a>), the design<\/em> (CY School of Design) and interdisciplinary design (Learning Planet Institute):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
