An oyster as breakfast, here is the starting point of a marathon day for Emmanuel Macron at the Agricultural Show, Saturday February 25. Many expressed their concern to the president. “We must first protect, keep our type of family-based agriculture, rooted in the territory”insists a farmer who fears that imports will endanger the French agricultural model.

“We are going to fight at European level to protect our agriculture and its model”said Emmanuel Macron.
