Farms and farming in France

Farming is one of France's most important industries, the country is self-sufficient in food supplies. From cereal crops, to beef, pork and poultry to fruit and vegetables.

Although there is industrial farming, there are still many other farmers who have decided to use traditional techniques and bio-farms. There are many small farms producing high quality products. Remember that the tradition of the French cuisine has much to do with this success, as people are seeking genuine regional products.

The type of farming is very defendant on the region as the climate and soils vary so much, but also on ministry and EEC decisions. From the mountains to the plains and coasts, you will find breeds specific to their home regions and diverse methods adapted to the terrain.
