"The Loi Duplomb, aimed at simplifying agricultural regulations, faces mixed support from farmers, uniting some against others, reflecting agricultural diversity's complexities."
"The bill seeks to lift constraints in agriculture, simplifying bureaucratic paperwork but controversially relaxing rules on pesticides, raising significant pushback from some farmer groups."
The Loi Duplomb, introduced after significant farmer protests in early 2024, aims to simplify agricultural regulations in France. It attempts to address demands for less bureaucratic constraints while also proposing controversial measures that relax rules on pesticides and water usage. While the bill has the backing of the dominant FNSEA union representing large cereal farmers, other segments of agriculture, particularly beekeepers, strongly oppose it, leading to further protests. This reflects the diverse and often conflicting interests within the French farming community as it navigates this complicated legislation.
