Representative of her region in the Miss France Agricole 2025 competition, Ludivine Fontez was elected first runner-up.
The young Ludivine Fontez, cereal farmer in Gibel, has just won the title of first runner-up in the “Miss and Mister France Agricole 2025 competition” organized by the association chaired by Milie Marin.
The aim of this competition is to allow the different candidates to “highlight the richness and diversity of French agriculture, to promote the cultural and gastronomic heritage of each region and to raise awareness among the general public of agricultural issues”.
Any farmer, whether employed, self-employed or student, can apply in one of four categories: adult man or woman over 18 years old, junior boy or girl.

After studying accounting and management leading to a techno baccalaureate and a BTS, Ludivine passed the road driver's CAP and obtained the capacity to transport goods. Holder since this year of the Professional Certificate of Agricultural Business Manager, she works in the production of cereals on the family farm. Encouraged by her grandparents who learned about this competition last year, Ludivine found the concept fun and decided to register. She then applied in the Miss Agricultural category on the competition's Facebook page accompanied by a text presenting her educational and professional background, a cover letter and of course a photo.
After publication on social networks, a first selection placed Ludivine among the first twenty candidates having obtained the greatest number of “likes” from Internet users. She then completed her file with a video in which she verbally responded to a questionnaire allowing her to better understand her personality. It was only then, on December 14, that a jury made up of professionals from the agricultural world published the result of the competition, electing Ludivine first runner-up to Gabrielle, market gardener and horticulturist in the Var, crowned Miss France Agricole 2025.
“I am very satisfied with the result,” concludes Ludivine, “even if I feel a certain frustration at not having won. I am proud, however, to have well represented the agricultural world of my region, my family, my friends, my village. It’s possible, I’ll run again next year.”
