Summary:In 1964, the École nationale supérieure des industries agroalimentaires—a French engineering school specialized in agrifood industries located in Massy, in the Paris area—hosted a research and consulting group in economics. Within about ten years, the “Groupe de Massy,” later named OMNIUM, produced a significant amount of data and studies on a rapidly changing agrifood sector. This article aims to understand the emergence and production modalities of this knowledge. The importance of contract financing, the scale of the empirical work carried out, and the type of knowledge ultimately produced are characteristic of a knowledge production regime that developed in France from the 1960s onward and aimed to bring industrial modernity to French society and the French economy.
