Organisées tous les 2 ans sur le campus d'Angers de l'école, les Rencontres du Végétal sont un espace de dialogue entre les acteurs de la recherche, de l'expérimentation et de l'enseignement, publics comme privés. Elles offrent l’occasion d’identifier de nouveaux axes de recherche et de construire de façon concertée des stratégies innovantes d’expérimentation dans les domaines de l’horticulture, des semences, de la cidriculture, de la viticulture et du paysage.
En 2021, elles fêtent leur 11^e édition autour du thème : "transition agro-écologique, quelles ressources et comment les mobiliser pour la durabilité des entreprises et des territoires ?".

Crises and the futures of rural areas

The past months and years have led us to questioning the nature of what we consider normal and what we consider a crisis. The COVID crisis, the war and its consequences, the climate crisis, they are all changing the way we think about the world and act in it. How do these rapid changes affect rural areas, and the ways rural areas are imagined? Is the rural newly in crisis or should it be considered as having long – or perhaps always – been in crisis, in sometimes under-illuminated ways? Or can we still think of the rural as a place of stability? Which crises pervade the rural and where and when did these crises originate? With regard to the currently most pressing crises, which of the things that were taken for granted about the rural are now being questioned? And, conversely, which new challenges and new paths and futures for the rural have been opened?
