1946/1960 INRA was one of the principal actors in the modernisation of farming.
1960/1980 Through its research and innovation, INRA contributedto the development of the French agrifood sector.
1980/2000 The Institute integrated new and fundamental technologiesin the life sciences (biotechnologies, molecular biology,genetic engineering…) in response to new environmentaland consumer demands.

Since 2001 INRA is taking up the scientific challenges of the life sciences, helping to accomplish profound changes in farming, responding to new demands from society (sustainability, food safety and quality, ethics, science-society debate, etc.)
. by strengthening its resources in three major fields: 1. The development of sustainable agriculture2. Nutrition and its effects on human health3. The environment and regional development
.by integrating them in the construction of the European Research Area .by actively participating in the internationalisation of science

Missions
1. To produce and disseminate scientific knowledge and innovations
2. To contribute to training in and through research, to the dissemination of scientific culture and to the science/society debate
3. Through its expertise, to participate in informing the decisions made by public and private sector actors

2. Scientific strategy
A new context• New scientific challenges
– High throughput approaches– Modelling at different scales– System biology
• New socio economic conditions– CAP and WTO– Evolution of rural areas
• New questions from the society• New research organisation, European Research
Area
