“A growing number of farmers must switch to organic farming, and not only through switching assistance, but also through payment for environmental services, he explains. Farmers who take this route will be properly remunerated for their public service and the resulting good products will be greater.”

“The offer, he continues, will increase, prices will fall and become inflected while ensuring that farmers are properly remunerated. Why would you want to ignore these solutions at all costs? Why want to ignore what scientists say and what farmers show in their daily actions?”
