To respond to the challenges of the agro-ecological project put forward by the public policy, the Technical committee of plant breeding (CTPS) must help and promote varietal innovation of ecosystem services plants, and adapt the criteria used for the registration on the official French catalog. Genetics researchers and breeders have been mobilized to ensure farmers improved species and varieties for the different ecosystem services expected from intermediate crops. CTPS created in 2014 an original structure known as Ecosystem services plants inter-sections commission (CISPS) which purpose is to define a regulatory framework and modalities for assessment and registration of these new varieties. Scientists and breeders confront this process to their development strategies, research objectives and breeding criteria to supply the marketplace and meet the agricultural and environmental demand.
