INRA Info Sol
Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, InfoSol Unit
Description of the organizationThis INFOSOL team also belongs to INRA, and is part of the Environment and Agronomy department. INRA is the leading European agricultural research institute and one of the foremost institutes in the world for agriculture, food and the environment. Expertise and experience of the organizationThe InfoSol INRA team has a wide experience in soil data handling and processing. It is responsible for the constitution of the soil information system for French soils and involved in several European projects linked to soil monitoring and modeling. The INRA Infosol unit is also known as a major contributor to soil carbon assessment and modeling, including spatial analysis. Technical capacity includes GIS, geostatistics, spatial analysis, and modeling. Selected reference projects
