Summary

One of the last remaining silkworm farmers describes her farm in the Ardèche, which produces cocoons for a silkworm production plant. This experimental station will provide high-quality silkworm eggs for the world market. At the same time, INRA researchers seeks to transform the silkworm into a protein producer, for pharmacological use.
