2026 drought: agricultural and forestry consequences in France

In autumn 2026, the effects of the summer drought and heatwave are being felt on agricultural production, with losses among Christmas tree, apple and organic crop producers, as well as fodder supply difficulties for livestock farmers. Farmers in the Rhône department have received heavy drinking water bills after watering their herds, while "climateflation" is presented as a factor in rising food prices. The Ministry of Agriculture details a CASI emergency plan of over one billion euros to support cash flow and restart production. The consequences also affect forests, particularly in central Alsace, where municipalities are revising their forest management, and AOP cheese production rules are relaxed due to livestock difficulties. Adaptation and support initiatives are multiplying, from agroclimatic advice in the Pilat to group fodder purchases in Vendée or an animal blessing in Sarthe.
