A friendly and committed meeting
The tasting, organized before kick-off, was a great success: 20 kilos of Corrèze meat provided by Altitude (Eleveurs du Pays Vert), were devoured well before the start of the match! The participants, attracted by the quality of the products, not only supported the initiative, but were also attentive to the issues raised by the farmers.
This moment of direct exchange made it possible to discuss essential subjects, such as the impact of international treaties on French livestock farming or the challenges of food sovereignty in a context of increased globalization.
One thing is certain: the FDSEA and the JA of Corrèze are determined to carry the voice of French breeders loud and clear.
