Calcul des Unités Gros Bétails : proposition d’une méthode basée sur les besoins énergétiques pour affiner l'étude des systèmes d'élevage

Marc BENOIT; Patrick VEYSSET

INRAE Productions Animales, Vol. 34 No. 2 · 2021 · Prancis · DOAJ

Originellement basé sur l’ingestion de fourrages par les herbivores et par extension sur leurs besoins énergétiques, le concept d'Unité de Gros Bétail (UGB) est largement utilisé, sans être toujours précisément défini, pour décrire et évaluer les systèmes d'élevage ou pour calculer des…

Analysis of the greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption in beekeeping: what are the sensitivity factors?

Marc Benoit; Gilles Grosmond

Frontiers in Animal Science, Vol. 6 · 2025 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

We calculate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption of two French beekeeping systems, one amateur system (Amat) and one professional system (Pro) with 300 hives. The GHG emissions reach 2.7 kgCO2eq/kg of honey for Amat and 1.49 for Pro. Travel to visit the apiaries accounted for…

Quel élevage pour une agriculture biologique performante ?

Marc BENOIT; Pietro BARBIERI; Bertrand DUMONT

INRAE Productions Animales (2024) · 2024 · Prancis · DOAJ

Les activités d’élevage sont fortement questionnées pour leurs impacts négatifs sur l’environnement, en particulier le changement climatique, et vis-à-vis de la compétition pour l’utilisation des surfaces agricoles. Depuis peu, elles sont en outre confrontées aux fortes tensions sur les ressources…

Environmental and technical efficiency of French sheep farms in less favored areas: off-season production penalizes environmental performance

Jean-Joseph Minviel; Marc Benoit; Laure Latruffe

Agricultural and Food Economics, Vol. 14 No. 1 · 2026 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

Abstract Given the need for farms to reduce their negative environmental impacts while maintaining their productive performance, this study analyzes the technical and environmental efficiency of a sample of sheep farms in France, with a focus on greenhouse gas emissions and nitrogen surplus. To do…

Opinion paper: Livestock is at the heart of interacting levers to reduce feed-food competition in agroecological food systems

Exploring the productivity per unit of livestock, land and labour of organic multi-species livestock farms in six European countries

Enrique Muñoz-Ulecia; Myriam Grillot; Marc Benoit dkk.

Farming System, Vol. 4 No. 1 · 2026 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

Farm diversification is increasingly suggested as a way to improve agriculture's productivity and sustainability. However, the role of livestock remains under-explored, particularly whether diversification of organic farms with multiple livestock species increases productivity. We assessed the…

Does mixing livestock farming enterprises improve farm and product sustainability?

Claire Mosnier; Marc Benoit; Jean Joseph Minviel dkk.

International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability, Vol. 20 No. 3 · 2022 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

Mixed farming systems are gaining interest both as a risk management strategy and to apply agroecological principles. This study set out to assess the sustainability of mixed systems compared to their specialized counterparts. The Orfee bioeconomic farm model was used to simulate three mixed farms…

Les productions d’élevage en AB en France : structures des fermes, répartition spatiale et évolution récente

Marc BENOIT; Lucille STEINMETZ; Dorian FLECHET dkk.

INRAE Productions Animales (2024) · 2024 · Prancis · DOAJ

L’agriculture biologique (AB) représentait 10,3 % de la surface agricole française en 2021. Ce mode de production est régi par un cahier des charges européen et des principes qui, combinés à une relation privilégiée aux consommateurs, conduisent à développer des systèmes de production se…

Combining beef cattle and sheep in an organic system. II. Benefits for economic and environmental performance

Marc Benoit; Karine Vazeille; Clément Jury dkk.

Animal, Vol. 17 No. 4 · 2023 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

Combining several animal species to optimise the performance of the whole farming system is one of the core tenets of agroecology. Here, we associated sheep with beef cattle (40–60% livestock units (LU)) in a mixed system (MIXsys) and compared its performances to those of a specialised beef…

Parasite dilution improves lamb growth more than does the complementarity of forage niches in a mesic pasture grazed by sheep and cattle

Frédéric Joly; Priscilla Note; Marc Barbet dkk.

Frontiers in Animal Science, Vol. 3 · 2022 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

Agroecological practices can improve the functioning of livestock farming systems by optimizing their underlying biological processes. Sheep/cattle mixed-grazing is an example of such a practice in which sheep grazing with cattle can achieve a higher liveweight gain (LWG), than sheep grazing alone…

Comparing productivity and feed-use efficiency between organic and conventional livestock animals

Ulysse Gaudaré; Sylvain Pellerin; Marc Benoit dkk.

Environmental Research Letters, Vol. 16 No. 2 · 2021 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

Livestock animals play a key role in organic farming systems by providing nutrients for croplands through manure production and nutrient-dense food for human consumption. However, we lack global, synthetic view about livestock productivity in organic farming and about its differences with…

Durabilité des exploitations d'élevage multi-espèces en France et en Europe : bénéfices observés, freins et leviers pour leur déploiement

Bertrand DUMONT; Marc BENOIT; Sophie CHAUVAT dkk.

INRAE Productions Animales (2023) · 2023 · Prancis · DOAJ

L’agroécologie stipule que la gestion de la diversité animale et végétale au sein des exploitations d’élevage renforce leur durabilité. Pour aller au-delà de ce principe théorique, nous analysons ici le fonctionnement et les performances d’exploitations de polyélevage, c’est-à-dire de fermes dans…

L’efficience nette de conversion des aliments par les animaux d’élevage : une nouvelle approche pour évaluer la contribution de l’élevage à l’alimentation humaine

Sarah LAISSE; René BAUMONT; Léonie DUSART dkk.

INRAE Productions Animales, Vol. 31 No. 3 · 2019 · Prancis · DOAJ

L’élevage est souvent perçu comme inefficient pour produire des denrées alimentaires pour l’Homme car les animaux consomment davantage de végétaux qu’ils ne produisent de viande, de lait ou d’œufs. Le calcul de l’efficience nette de conversion des aliments en ne considérant dans le calcul que la…

Mobilizing Ecological Processes for Herbivore Production: Farmers and Researchers Learning Together

Bertrand Dumont; Pablo Modernel; Marc Benoit dkk.

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Vol. 4 · 2020 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

Grazing plays a key role in reducing the external inputs required for ruminant production and in alleviating feed-food competition. Beyond the production of meat and milk, grassland-based systems provide a wide range of ecosystem services. Agroecology and organic farming aim to reconcile natural…

Action-orientated research and framework: insights from the French long-term social-ecological research network

Vincent Bretagnolle; Marc Benoit; Mathieu Bonnefond dkk.

Ecology and Society, Vol. 24 No. 3 · 2019 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

Many social-ecological system(SES)-based approaches have been proposed to address environmental problems. Most social-ecological frameworks developed to date, however, lack clear operational linkages between humans and nature to efficiently guide SESs toward resilience. A conceptual framework…
