I am a Research Scientist at the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE) where I have occupied a permanent research position since 2009.
I am currently a member of the Center for Environmental Economics of Montpellier (CEEM), France, where I lead a number of research projects that deal with ecologically-innovative agriculture. The main one is FAST – Facilitate public Action to exit from peSTicides, which aims to provide political and organizational solutions to reduce pesticide use in France.

My research focuses on the negative impacts of agriculture on the environment, with an emphasis on the efficiency of monetary and non-monetary schemes in improving farmers' decisions about natural resource conservation. I mostly do empirical work, including impact evaluation using microeconometric tools.
