France: Duplomb law's pesticide provision triggers unprecedented debate • FRANCE 24 English

The French Parliament definitively passed on Tuesday, July 8, the controversial Duplomb agricultural law, presented as a response to the anger of farmers during the winter of 2024. The bill aims to simplify the work of farmers, who are portrayed as overwhelmed by environmental regulations. It notably seeks to facilitate the construction of mega-reservoirs — large water storage facilities used for irrigation — as well as the creation or expansion of intensive livestock farming buildings.Lorine Azolai, Food Sovereignty Advocacy Officer at CCFD Terre Solidaire, explains.
