This is what elected officials need to hear. What we are advocating today is this business takeover. If we don't help our young people and motivate them to take over businesses and this know-how, it would be a shame to lose it. », she insists, referring to the 11 titles of master craftsman in the region. “ The State must understand that our food supplies must not be cut off. Companies often have one or two employees. We're not at the CAC 40. We need a helping hand. We must not be mixed up with the big companies », she concludes.
