I trained as an engineer in regional planning at the Université de Technologie de Compiègne, and then went on to do a Master's degree in soil science at the Institut Agro (Montpellier). This work-linked training at CDC Biodiversité enabled me to understand the importance of soil conservation and restoration. Keen to participate in the creation of knowledge on this subject, I began a thesis on ”Soil sealing and decompaction: civil engineering or agro-ecology? ”(IMBE/INRAE - Avignon), bringing my training to a harmonious conclusion.
This thesis, based on an applied research framework and an integrated approach, is in line with my desire to respond to the many issues relating to the use of soils and associated biodiversity.
