The ecological transition in agriculture requires the integration of nature protection measures into agricultural practices, but these are proving difficult to implement, particularly due to mutual misunderstandings and difficulties in dialogue between nature conservationists and agricultural actors.
The aim of this research project, which is the result of collaboration between Pro Natura and the IGD, is to shed light on the points of tension, misunderstandings and prejudices, but also on the possible convergences between farmers and nature conservationists, and to propose solutions for the development of co-constructed agroecological strategies.
The research is mainly based on a qualitative survey based on semi-directive filmed interviews with farmers and Pro Natura staff members.
