Agency for Research and Information on Fruits and Vegetables / Agence pour la recherche et l information en fruits et legumes (APRIFEL)

Aprifel (Agence pour la recherche et l’information en fruits et légumes) is an association created in 1981 whose core mission is to analyze and communicate knowledge on the links between fruit and vegetables and health, food safety, and sustainability.

It takes action to mobilize stakeholders to help translate science into action. Their objective? To collectively promote a healthy and sustainable diet rich in fruit and vegetables.

Aprifel’s governance system brings together civil society, fruit and vegetable professionals, and scientists. The association can therefore provide factual and consensual information. Its governance system consists of a Scientific Council, a Consumer Council, and a Board of Directors, giving Aprifel the legitimacy to intervene on subjects that correlate closely with sustainable development, and in particular issues relating to health and environmental protection: climate, water, air, use of fossil resources, carbon footprint, biodiversity, etc.
