FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “French agriculture in crisis: A challenge for tomorrow’s farmers” – below is their description.
While #France is still Europe’s agricultural powerhouse, the number of #farmers is steadily falling, by almost 2 percent every year. Worse, an ageing workforce and a lack of new blood mean that around 15 percent of the current contingent is set to retire within the next five years, leaving many a homestead with no one to take over. But training schools have adapted to the times and are now prepping would-be farmers with a tasty combination of high-tech and old-school organic methods. We take a closer look and meet one young organic farmer.
