The European “green deal”, this threat hanging over farmers. “It’s a totally disconnected project,” criticizes Thierry Coué, deputy secretary general at the FNSEA office and pig breeder in Brittany.

Farmers are not opposed to ecology, but we are looking at the problem in reverse, sacrificing economic and social issues.” Launched by Ursula von der Leyen in 2019, the European ‘Green Deal’ commits European Union (EU) states to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
