Abstract
BRC4Env is a network of Biological Resource Centres and collections, one of the 5 specialized pillars of the French research infrastructure AgroBRC-RARe. BRC4Env aims at providing a strategic delivery of agro-environmental bioresources for fundamental and applied research in environmental and agricultural sciences. These biological and/or genomic resources are sampled from soils, agricultural and natural ecosystems, and preserved in organized collections of microbial, animal (invertebrates and vertebrates) and soil resources. BRC4Env provides these resources available for researchers from academia, but also industry, technology and additional sectors (NGOs, public society…).
