Plants and Men, a shared history

The module aims to make students aware that studying cultivated plants means taking an interest not only in the biological object but also in the physical and climatic context, as well as the social and cultural environment.

This module is intended for Master 1 students at the University of Montpellier.

Students discover the methods to be used to study plants in their context. After attending a few expert conferences, they conduct a field survey on the farms of several onion producers in Lodévois, near Montpellier.

"Plants and Men, a shared history" is a three-day module.

It is organised by the unit AGAP (team DDSE, Claire Billot, Danièle Clavel, Christian Leclerc, Sélim Louafi), CEFE (team Interactions bioculturelles, Sophie Caillon) et DIADE (team Dynadiv, Adeline Barnaud), in collaboration with an organisation of producers.
