The government wants to “facilitate” the construction of agricultural water reservoirs, says Agnès Pannier-Runacher. The construction of additional water reserves to deal with climate change is one of the demands raised during the demonstrations.
The measure still needs to be explained, but it resembles the presumption of major public interest from which wind turbine or solar power plant projects can benefit, for example, when their construction risks endangering protected species or habitats. On Saturday, during a stormy visit for the opening of the Agricultural Show, Emmanuel Macron pledged to recognize our agriculture and our food as a major general interest of the French nation.
