This Thursday evening, we gave voice to the world of agriculture in our special program “Anger is in the meadow”. Here are the most important passages.

The host who welcomed us to his farm, Stéphane Godfriaux, answers the delicate question: “Can we still make a decent living from this profession?”

Also read Blockades of farmers still in progress and will continue tomorrow: what is the state of traffic following the demonstration?

In addition to not earning a living, farmers are drowning in administrative burdens.
