Drought 2026: French agriculture faces lasting consequences

In the summer of 2026, a drought and heatwaves affected French agriculture, leading to high water bills for farmers in the Rhône department, yield losses in the Gers, and fodder difficulties in Vendée. In November, the Ministry of Agriculture presented the CASI plan, worth over one billion euros, to support agricultural cash flow and restart production. The state also released 1.4 million euros for farmers in the Eure affected by the drought. Rules for making certain AOP cheeses were relaxed, while forest municipalities and farmers have initiated adaptations in the face of climate change.
