INRAE, the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment, is a major player in research and innovation. The institute brings together a community of 12,000 people, with 274 research, service and experimentation units located in 18 centers throughout France. As a fully-fledged research institute, it ranks among the world's leading research organizations in agricultural and food sciences, plant and animal sciences, and environmental ecology. It is the world's leading research organization specializing in “agriculture-food-environment”. INRAE's ambition is to be a key player in the transitions needed to meet the world's major challenges. Faced with population growth and the challenge of food security, climate disruption, resource scarcity and declining biodiversity, the institute has a major role to play in building solutions and supporting the necessary acceleration of agricultural, food and environmental transitions.

The St Martin de Hinx unit is part of the Nouvelle Aquitaine Bordeaux center, which comprises 24 units in 12 locations.
