Five students from the Higher School of Agriculture (ESA) in Angers have recently submitted their conclusions from a study for which they received support from the International Rivers and Heritage Institute.

The students concerned were Ms Gelinet and Ms Skiker, and Mr Chiron, Mr Neveu and Mr Patry.

Under the supervision of Ms Joséphine Pithon-Rivallain and Mr Robert Biagi, both teachers at the ESA in Angers, they studied the feasibility of creating value from invasive plants by composting, and thereby supporting local socio-economic development, focusing their research on the water hyacinth in Mali, and comparing it to the case of the water primrose in the Loire.
