Activating sustainable economies and organizations on a regional scale.
The challenges of economic development and regional development
This path aims to achieve agro-economic, socio-technical and organizational balances that strengthen :
- territorial vitality
- their autonomy
- their resilience through the creation of value chains, circuits and added values.
It aims to train agricultural development engineers capable of solving agro-eco-environmental problems through a concerted approach at the territorial level. This requires a detailed understanding of the organization, functioning and development dynamics of territories, leading to the elaboration of action plans and their coordination on behalf of public and private players in charge of and governing territorial development.

In semester 9, you can choose to follow your own path, by selecting from :
- the main major of the Territorial Development and Leadership pathway, which takes a more in-depth look at this field: Projets de territoire : coordination et animation (Beauvais campus)
- one or more opening majors, designed to broaden your skills in another field:
- Agriculture and Society (Beauvais campus)
- Urban Agriculture and Green Cities (Rouen campus)
- Intrapreneurship, entrepreneurship and innovation (Beauvais campus)
- a semester, a double degree or a degree-granting stay in France or abroad (from 12 to 18 months for a double degree or a degree-granting stay)
The final project is based on an in-company work placement or research placement for students, or on the long period spent in a company for apprentices.
A final dissertation is written and presented orally.
What career options are available after completing the Territorial Development and Animation program?
The Development and Territorial Animation pathway enables you to work in the public sector in EPCIs (agglomerations, communes, countries), in a design office/audit firm, in an agricultural collection and consultancy organization, in a company managing biomass and/or renewable energy supply circuits, or in agricultural production and the agri-food industry.
