Purpose of the research programme
The scientific approach must meet an essential requirement: studying all the tools for financing agriculture to enable it to transform the model on which it is based (concept of virtuous agriculture) in a context of food sovereignty.
Sustainable financing as studied by the Chair is based on scientific evidence pointing to an aggradation or degradation of a “natural capital” observed in the farmer’s holding due to his practices or investments.
Both the development of the evidence and its practical implementation are part of the Chair’s research program.
Analysis of fundraising and its allocation to farms, as well as its legal status, is a complementary field of research that is also integrated in the research program.

Lastly, the form of market investments represents another segment of the research work that can potentially be carried out as part of the general research programme.
The methodology chosen and the Chair’s program imply the study of new legal and accounting concepts and tools adapted to the Chair’s vision of sustainable financing.
Based on these prerequisites, the scientific approach revolves around five approaches.
