Xavier Poux

Xavier Poux has an agronomic background and has a thesis in rural economics on the analysis of a regional agrarian system (that of the Plateau de Langres, upstream of the Seine). He has been working since 1992 in the AScA (Applications des Sciences de l’ Action) research and development department, created by Laurent Mermet. His professional experience has led him to combine the analysis of agricultural systems – from an organizational, economic and environmental point of view – with the analysis of public decisions on agricultural development and environmental management. His career has also led him to articulate different levels of analysis and intervention, from the local level of the small territory to the organisation of agriculture at European level. He intervenes in the operational, methodological and theoretical registers on the one hand, aiming at reciprocal enrichment on the other.
