Welcome at the website of the Joint Research Unit IATE

IATE is a joint research unit (JRU) of INRA, CIRAD, SupAgro and University of Montpellier in the area of agro-polymers and emerging technologies.

It is a pleasure to inform you about our latest developments on agro-polymers and emerging technologies. Societal challenges, such as food security and a transition towards a bio-based society, serve as fuel for our creativity and new research activities.
