LINDDA: Living INfrastructure to Design responsible Digital technology for Agroecological transition, aims to understand the design modalities in place or needed for digitally-supported agro-ecological transitions.
LINDDA is a targeted research project under the "Agroecology and digital technology" Priority Research Programs and Equipment (PEPR) initiative, piloted by INRAE and INRIA. LINDDA has been awarded the contract "ANR-22-PEAE-0004" dated February 10, 2023 for 5 years.
LINDDA is a multidisciplinary project bringing together design (CY Ecole de design and LPI), engineering (Inrae and Inria), ergonomics (Cnam), humanities and social sciences, with the aim of identifying, qualifying and testing infrastructures to support responsible digital design for the agroecological transition.
The hypothesis posed by LINDDA is that the agroecological transition depends on design infrastructures with "living" characteristics, which are to be qualified.
These infrastructures, as defined by STS (Science and Technology Studies)[1][2][3] articulate systems and sites, depend on conventions of use and socio-technical norms, and develop and evolve incrementally.
Therefore, by bringing together environmental and systemic design issues[4][5] that take into account heterogeneous technical systems and social and cultural practices in very different professional and organizational environments, LINDDA aims to
These objectives require the development of interdisciplinary design and research resources to ensure the transformation of existing innovation infrastructures (such as Living Labs) and the emergence of new ones.

Alongside the Learning Planet Institut, the Transition design lab is in charge of developing a design research platform to observe, categorize, design and test new responsible digital design devices for the agroecological transition.
Drawing on two fields: the Occitanum living lab and the participatory consultation project concerning the energy policy and water management of the PETR Briançonnais, Ecrins et Guillestrois Queyras, we are carrying out the following tasks:

We want to invent the tools and instruments that will support creative and fair decision-making processes
By adopting the Open Schooling concept, five pilot sites will create replicable climate action plans, transforming schools into community innovation hubs. The project will raise citizen awareness,…
