Agriculture - Rural areas

Rural areas, which were historically dedicated to agricultural production, now play a key role in development policies, being used for many different functions and giving rise to varied expectations.
Oréade-Brèche always works in this domain, not only with an eye clearly focused on the harmonious development of these areas but also on the need for innovation.
Our main missions in this field are: evaluation of public policies in agriculture, forest and the environment, support for planning activities for rivers, rural areas or protected areas management, as well as studies on development of activities or territories.
