Research centers or research group

CIRAD is specialized in international research on food security, sustainable development and adaptation of agriculture to climate change.  It is a French research centre institution operating in over 90 countries around the world.

CIRAD has a staff of 1800, including 800 researchers among with 55 researchers in Reunion Island and only one in Mayotte.

It comprises three scientific departments and 33 research units worldwide.

In the Indian Ocean, Cooperation through research using a regional agronomic research platform for development (PReRAD).
PReRAD is a scientific and technical platform designed to boost its visitors’ research facilities to develop research excellence in agronomy by bringing together Reunion and other Indian Ocean island country
partners in joint projects. This collaboration aims at fostering partnerships between CIRAD and research and higher education teams in the Indian Ocean region and work together in networks on common themes. The platform also hosts research and education teams (on varying lengths of stay). CIRAD assists groups of researchers and technicians through partnership by providing them with research activities or training, underpinned by collaborative arrangements with private enterprise.

  • Research Activities

    The main topics focus on :

    • Human and animal health in the Indian Ocean area (One Health-OI)
    • Bioagressors and plant health
    • Co-designing high-quality agri-food systems
    • Services and impacts of agricultural activities in tropical environments
    • Forests and Biodiversity.
  • Key Research Programmes
    • Preserving and enhancing biodiversity in island ecosystems by fostering sustainable agriculture adapted to global changes
    • Safeguarding animal and human health in natural Indian Ocean ecosystems (nature) and ensuring the development of sustainable agriculture adapted to the limitations of islands.
    • Designing more sustainable agri-food systems in which quality of products and production methods are added values.
    • Assessing positive and negative effects and ecosystem services, such as agricultural production and environmental services, farming practices on the island, to tailor agricultural systems to global changes.

  • SCIENTIFIC EXPERTISE

    CIRAD researchers in Reunion specialise in a range of disciplines,
    including general agronomy, genetics, geography, sociology and
    statistics. The expertise could be in the form of input through
    collaborative or consultancy assessments.
    Cirad also provides agronomic analysis services.
    CIRAD provides a wide range of services from basic plant material of European standards for seed companies and plant nurseries, detection methods to diagnose plant diseases for
    medical laboratories, food-processing equipment for food industry processes, as well as databases and software for the agricultural sector.

    Technical support centre and cutting-edge equipment
    The Plant Protection Platform (3P) covers over 3000m2, with three main laboratories, a level-3 (NS3) quarantine facility, and a biological resource centre (CRB Vatel). 3P is associated with CIRAD-RUN field trial facilities on farmland (20 ha) and in a natural
    environment, together with the University of Reunion Island. The CIRAD agri-food laboratory in Saint Pierre conducts physical and chemical, chromatographic and microbiological analyses for agrifood research. The plant ecophysiology and biochemical laboratory, based at the Bassin Plat, CIRAD facility in Saint Pierre, works with the agri-food laboratory. CIRAD’s agronomic analyses laboratory (located in La Bretagne), in Saint-Denis, analyses between 2,500 and 4,000 samples a year, comprising 30,000 to 40,000 analytical
    determinations, half of them focused on agronomic research.
