Very happy to see our paper on rainwater (cycle partition) shocks and growth published in the @JEEM_tweets... For more details please see the nice thread by my coauthor @FBareille

Thank you very much @borghesi_simone for this kind invitation! It was a great pleasure to represent @FAERE_Press at the round table dedicated to the creation of the Mediterranean association of environmental economists #medaere with my colleagues @ValeCostan3 @CarmenArguedasT

Thrilled to have participated in #ERSA2024 conference and to have presented our ongoing work with @FBareille and @DeryaKe99522637 on Land use Adaptation to Climate Change in EU, funded by @LAMASUS_EU and @CLAND_saclay #adaptation #climatechange #landuse

On met en lumière dans cet article les impacts sanitaires et environnementaux du changement climatique et l'importance d'une prise de conscience globale pour protéger l'environnement #Climat #Pesticides #Environnement merci à @Gabrielle_MX pour son invitation et son aide!

Here is the nice result of a great experience with @thierrybrunell1 started with a multidisciplinary workshop organized online in Feb 2022 (covid obliges). We gathered expert opinions on the challenges/solutions for reducing chemical inputs in agriculture

Nice presentation by Valentin Cocco of our joint paper with @LMouysset on the impacts of land consolidation on hedgerow network at the @EAERE_envecon conference #eaere2024

Nice session today on Agriculture at the @EAERE_envecon #eaere2024 conference today with most presenters are members of @inraepsae

It was a great pleasure to present today at the workshop organized at @GalatasarayUniv on Agriculture, Environment and Trade. Many thanks to the organisers for the kind invitation specifically to @MChiroleuA and @GoktunaBilge

It was a great pleasure to present today at the 22nd International Spatial Econometrics and Statistics Workshop at the session in honor of Christine Thomas-Agnan. Thanks to the organisers for the kind invitation, specially to @AdelaideFadhui1 #SEW2024

Our findings have important impacts for French and EU policymakers trying to reduce pesticide use: climate change makes further reductions even harder. 🌍 #Pesticide #ClimateChange #GreenDeal

Using our estimates, our simulations show that, ceteris paribus, French farmers would increase pesticide use by +7% to +15% by 2050 under the RCP4.5 climate change scenario. 📈🌱 #PesticideProjection

Pesticide use is more sensitive to weather in the case of those with higher risks 📈 to human health in the case of herbicides and fungicides and for those with higher risks to the environment in the case of insecticides.

Our estimates likely represent the lower bound estimates of the farmers’ intensive margin responses to weather shocks 🌿🌧️ : They reflect how weather affects pests, pesticide effectiveness, and yields, but not changes in crop types or overall farming area 🌱 #FarmResponses

Results 📊 : +1% temp ⬆️ = +1.70% fungicides 🍄
+1.72% herbicides ☘️
+0.37% insecticides 🦋
+1% precip ⬆️ = +0.53% fungicides 🍄
+0.25% herbicides ☘️
+0.25% insecticides 🦋

Using an original, exhaustive dataset 📊 of purchases of all active substances in France 🇫🇷, we show that farmers 🧑‍🌾 do adjust their pesticide use to weather shocks ⛈️

I am so happy to share that our paper "Weather shocks and pesticide puchases" with @FBareille and Derya Keles is now published in the European Review of agricultural Economics see our 🧵 ⤵️

It was my first time to participate to a stakeholders meeting, and I enjoyed it... It was a very nice experience where I learned so much during discussions with European farmers and other stakeholders...

Thanks to my colleagues from Montpellier @CEEMMontpellier for the invitation to their seminar and constructive feedback! a special mention to Julie @JulieSubervie and Sébastien @SebaDbx for their warm welcome!

Today Alpha LY brilliantly defended his PhD thesis. A big thank you to the jury for their constructive feedback and a huge thank you to @creti_anna for the quality of the co-supervision... Good luck to Alpha on the job market, I am quite sure he will be a brilliant researcher!!

It is tomorrow 17th October. Registrations are closed!!
