Aprifel, the Agency for Research and Information on Fruit and Vegetables, is an association under the French law of 1901 created in 1981. Its core mission is to analyze and communicate knowledge on the links between fruit and vegetables and health, food safety and sustainability. Aprifel is a non-profit organization that acts as an interface between scientists, civil society and fruit and vegetable professionals. It takes action to mobilize stakeholders to help translate science into action. To do so, Aprifel mobilizes the national and international scientific community, produces, and distributes publications and organizes information symposiums and international conferences. To carry out its missions, Aprifel relies on a board of administrators composed of personalities representing the association's fields of competence, a scientific council composed of external experts and a consumer council bringing together a dozen national consumer associations. The association can therefore provide factual and consensual information.
