Philippe Crouzet, author of the Biotechnologie-végétale website, has worked for over ten years on various aspects of plant biotechnology. He therefore shares his experience and knowledge in a clear and precise way, to help people better understand the changes taking place in and around agriculture.
"I simply feel that, in view of the scientific advances and the major changes they are bringing about, it has become absolutely essential to disseminate the content of these advances as widely as possible, so that they can be better understood and mastered by as many people as possible. This is the necessary basis for an enlightened public debate on the role of science in society and its evolution."
This is the "pro" biotechnology counterpart, offering another perspective to the discourse of those opposed to genetic manipulation. You'll be able to get a better idea of the risks, precautions and possibilities of these technologies. For example, between choosing between pesticides and a GMO seed that makes them less necessary... what's the choice if organic farming isn't possible?
In short, a partisan site, but clear and interesting.

The meaning of freedom to learn
Freedom has often been sought in education and training, but it takes on different meanings according to the times. Pedagogy is always evolving.
On the need to create African schools outside Africa
The absence of African schools in the West or outside of Africa despite the strong African community abroad is a reality and Africa would benefit from addressing this issue. It is possible to reverse the trend and capitalize on the potential of the strong African community abroad, which can be done through African schools.
Successful public speaking is first and foremost about dominating a place.
Can you speak in different places and express yourself in the same way? How does a place shape our expression? How can we tame the places where we speak, and learn from them in the process?
Perseverance enhanced by outdoor learning
Are there accommodations that would promote engagement and retention? While some have believed that the implementation of technology in the classroom would be a magic bullet, it seems that research points to another. Indeed, outdoor classes, in a natural setting, have important virtues for students, especially those with learning difficulties.
