Guayule (Parthenium argentatum).: Towards a model of sustainable bio-sourced value chains that contribute to the agro-ecological transition
Agriculture is often pointed out as a contributor to environmental disruption. However, it offers the means to mitigate climate change and build innovative, resilient and productive agro-ecosystems. These multifunctional ecosystems would enable diversified and sustainable exploitation of natural resources, while preserving and restoring ecosystem services. The condition would be the design of an innovative alternative model of sustainable and restorative multifunctional agriculture. The French economic social and environmental council (the consultative assembly " CESE ") calls for the integration of sustainability goals to those of added value to achieve a sustainable bioeconomy. A bioeconomy which implements agronomic practices that preserve and maintain soil fertility while respecting biodiversity1 A paradigmatic innovation is therefore necessary for the emergence of a new model of a so-called sustainable and responsible bioeconomy. 1 Vers une bioéconomie durable Jean-David Abel et Marc Blanc, Avis du CESE(Conseil économique, social et environnemental) Mars 2017 https://www.lecese.fr/sites/default/files/pdf/Avis/2017/2017_08_bioeconomie_durable.pdf 2 FAO 2018. 10 elements of agroecology that can guide us toward sustainable food systems 3 HLPE. 2019.
