CAVALBIO project
The aim of the CAVALBIO project (2015-2020) is to build sustainable citrus and yam value chains in Guadeloupe by creating new varieties better suited to local constraints. It is a collaborative project involving CIRAD, INRAE and the University of the French Antilles. It is directly linked to the agricultural innovation and transfer networks (RITAs) in Guadeloupe.

TYPOCLIM
TYPOCLIM has a dual objective: to map instruments to promote agricultural adaptation to climate change, based on eight case studies in countries in the global North and South, and several agricultural value chains (wine, horticulture and market garden crops), which are subject to different climate shocks (irregular growth seasons, excessive heat, water shortages, etc.) in order to draw up an extensive typology of those instruments. The next step will be to assess governance of the instruments, and their economic and environmental impacts.

CaribFruits
This site, devoted to the fruits of the French West Indies, contains information on species and varieties, environmentally-frtiendly production techniques, and a scientific database on fruit trees.
