Emmanuel Macron present for the launch of the 2023 edition

Saturday February 25, Emmanuel Macron arrived early in the morning for the opening of the agricultural show in Paris. Journalist Christelle Méral reports live from Porte de Versailles, in the fifteenth arrondissement of the capital. “Emmanuel Macron met with farmers and breeders who were worried about the rise in the price of animal feed, foreign competition… For the president, food sovereignty must be preserved. France, he insisted, must remain an agricultural power “explains the journalist.

Towards water planning?

The other issue of agriculture is the attractiveness of the profession. “One out of two farmers must retire by 2030”, recalls Christelle Méral. Pension reform is never far away. “A small group of protesters demanded retirement at 60, they were quickly dispersed”, explains the reporter. In addition, the Head of State affirmed that he intended to put in place water planning as the drought spread to France.
