Dr Michel Etienne is an agronomist and plant ecologist of the Ecodevelopment Unit, a lab of the National Institute for Agronomic Research at Avignon, dedicated to the study of the interactions between farm activities and environmental problems. He has been working for 25 years on Mediterranean sylvopastoral systems. After ten years dedicated to research programs on the functioning of the interactions between tree, forage and animal, he moved to the development of models simulating the dynamics of sylvopastoral systems according to management practices. He is currently focused on the development of decisions support systems at the farm level and of a companion modelling approach at the natural resource management scale.
