Annual event for ecology and biodiversity professionals
AdNatura brings together all the players in France's professional ecology and biodiversity sector at a Forum des Professionnels, featuring stands, conferences, round tables, workshops, business meetings and job dating.Engineers, technicians, researchers, managers: all professional cultures will be brought together for this event, which will bring together all the structures and players involved in the ecological transition and biodiversity conservation, both private and public (companies, associations, public establishments, local authorities, inter-municipalities, government departments, etc.).Beyond being a common heritage to be conserved and a professional sector of the future, biodiversity is the source of sustainable innovations to drive and succeed in the ecological transition that will lead us to sustainable human development. To illustrate this, each year AdNatura will highlight a topical and forward-looking theme through its conferences, workshops and round tables.
For the 2022 edition, "living soil" will be the main theme of the event.
A central issue in European policy, from the adoption of the European Parliament Resolution of April 28, 2021 to its "farm to fork" strategy, soil preservation, protection and restoration is a challenge for all players in the French professional ecology and biodiversity sector. Zero Net Artificialization, preservation of soil functions for greenhouse gas sequestration and sustainable food production, conservation of soil's capacity to support ecosystems, restoration of degraded soils, and study of soil structure and functioning - these are all burning issues of the day and crucial to our common future, and they will be explored in the rich program of conferences and round tables at the AdNatura show.

AdNatura offers high-school and university students, recent graduates and anyone looking for a career change the opportunity to find out more about jobs and employers in the ecology and biodiversity sector in France, at a "Carrefour des métiers et des formations" (crossroads for careers and training) featuring stands, conferences, round tables, workshops and job dating.
