The director
Over the past 100 years, day
after day, the INP-ENSAT
has become one of the key
institutions of the French
higher education and research
network in agronomy. At the
heart of the agro-bio-vet pole
of the University of Toulouse,
our institution offers some training programs in life
science and technology to high level engineers.
The current and future stakes of our society represent
new fields of expertise for the ENSAT engineers who
are trained to approach, understand and successfully
work in complex systems. The renown of our training
guarantees our engineers high quality employment.
The
knowledge
and
know-how
transmitted
enthusiastically at the ENSAT, will be completed by
the support of the alumni network and the rich student
life promoted by the student association all along the
construction of the students’ professional project.

Sébastien Labbé,
General Director of biocenose
Graduated in 2004
As long as I can remember, I’ve always dreamt
of starting my own company and the engineering
studies have allowed me to successfully achieve
this goal. While I was studying at the INP-ENSAT, I worked on
the implementation of a study office in Renewable energies and
environmental audits. Two years later, Biocenose was awarded
the Innovative company Prize. Today my company is based in
Albi and I have strong working relations with the ENSAT. Indeed
several ENSAT trainees work with me every year. I know their
specific competences and added value.
3 double degrees with Brazil, Lebanon and Cambodia
More than 380 partnerships with companies
Awarded « green school» in 2012
The INP-ENSAT ranks 2 in the national classification of
Engineering Schools of Agronomy in 2012

employment in agronomy.
Caroline Guinot,
Environmental project
manager at CIV
Graduated in 2001.
From my very first year of
study at the ENSAT, I was fascinated by
the human approach of agriculture. After
an exchange programme of a year at a
British university, I decided to specialise
in “production systems, environment
and territories’. At the same time I did
the master’s programme in sociology,
geography and rural economy. After
graduation, I worked for the regional
potato board and then as a journalist in
agriculture. Today, I’m an environmental
project manager. My mission is to foster
coordination between livestock breeders
and society. It is an exciting job calling for
varied competences.
Antoine Vachey,
CEO of Fortivia
Graduated in 2008
After graduating from
the ENSAT, I joined a
business incubator and
two years later I started Fortivia with
four collaborators. The rice germ, which
is the leading product of our company
has won the innovative product award in
Languedoc-Roussillon – F. It is an amazing
source of vitamins and minerals. We have
created a range of ingredients for the
industry for those who are concerned
with the nutritional value of their
products. Fortivia is now sold in various
European countries under different
brand names.
The training through apprenticeship, an interesting alternative training program !
This program specialised in agri-food chains, has been tailored to the requirements of the agro industrial sector with a demand for
managers who are able to control and understand fully the production systems

Toulouse, a very pleasant
place to live and study
At the very heart of the
Midi-Pyrénées region
Toulouse is the 3rd largest student city in France with 93,000
students. It also ranks 1st for the quality of life (L’étudiant
2012).
Located in one of the largest regions in France, Toulouse is
at the crossroad of traditions and terroirs.
With its amazing historical heritage, Toulouse offers rich and
diversified cultural activities. It is also renowned in France for
its fantastic student life and has a reputation of a young and
active city.
With more than 47,000 farms and a wide network of
leading companies in the agriculture and food sector, the
Midi-Pyrénées region is the first agricultural region in France
regarding the number of farms. It is therefore the ideal
place for agronomy engineers to-be to develop their
professional plans.
