National audience ; Environmental services provided by permanent grasslands are well acknowledged but the agricultural services they provide remain difficult to assess with conventional methods. Our objective is to present the step-by-step approach which was used to build a toolbox. Methodologies and concepts developed in functional ecology were mobilized together with long-term partnership with farmers, advisors and teachers. The five tools rely on a common base, the functional characterization of vegetation. These tools make it possible to characterize the agronomic potential of the grassland, to define the range of practices compatible with a vegetation type, to model different scenarios for learning purposes and to estimate room for manoeuvring for a better valorisation of available forage resources. We demonstrate how the different partnerships and the real life situation of knowledge with partners orientated the choices we made and allowed us to pass from a concept with several prototypes to a combination of actionable, ie easily mobilized, tools. We analyze the different types of training available for scientists and practitioners in this work. Finally, we discuss methodological teachings for tool co-construction in action when scientific and practical knowledge on processes are missing.

National audience ; Agroecology aims to promote sustainable food systems, respectful of people and the environment. These systems involve agricultural production methods and sectors which value the ecological, economic and social potential of a territory. Their development relies on transdisciplinary approaches which bring together professionals from the agricultural world, scientists, actors of agroecology and public policy social movements. ; L'agroécologie vise à promouvoir des systèmes alimentaires viables respectueux des hommes et de leur environnement. Ces systèmes engagent des modes de productions agricoles et des filières valorisant les potentialités écologiques, économiques et sociales d'un territoire. Leur développement s'appuie sur des approches transdisciplinaires réunissant professionnels du monde agricole, scientifiques, acteurs des mouvements sociaux de l'agroécologie et des politiques publiques.

N° ISBN - 978-2-7380-1284-5 ; International audience ; Co-design of artifacts usable by extension services can be a long-lasting task. It partly depends on the developments of scientific knowledge. In addition, as we will show in this testimony, training and partnership with practitioners play a key role in the design of an artifact, here a tool to diagnose the opportunity of grassland management practices in a farm. Discussions between researchers and practitioners during training sessions led to the design of prototypes of articfact. Partnership between researchers and practitioners on the long term contributed to adjust the artifact, to simplify its procedure, and overall to improve its diagnosis capacity by capitalizing on researchers' and practitioners' knowledge. This experience has required adaptive capacity of researchers, leading them to adopt different research postures according to the stages in the interactions with practitioners. Researchers considered practitioners as knowledge providers by associating them to articfact co-design, or as experts to be equipped by involving them in participatory research projects.
