Depuis 2013, suite de la sortie du projet Agroécologie pour la France du Ministre de l’agriculture Stéphane Le Foll, l'Inra a placé l'agro-écologie au cœur de ses orientations. L’agro-écologie est aujourd’hui un domaine de recherche et d’activités agronomiques d’actualité mais son périmètre et les notions qui y participent sont encore peu clairs, parfois sujets à controverse, sources de malentendus. Dans ce contexte, le dispositif de veille territoriale sur Agro-écologie apporte un éclairage important dans un domaine en pleine évolution.
Ce dispositif de veille démarré, en mars 2013, à l'initiative de Marie-Colette Fauré et Véronique Batifol-Garandel, documentalistes à l'Inra, a pour ambition d’identifier comment l’agroécologie se décline dans la région Midi-Pyrénées : identifier les acteurs investis dans une démarche de transition agroécologique, leurs actions, leurs contextes situés et leurs besoins, … En cela, il constitue une approche originale et novatrice tant au niveau du recueil des données (échelle territoriale) que de leur qualification et analyses diversifiées et spécifiques.
